After all I am using GPC 2.0(2.7.2.1) GNU Pascal to compile my old
Turbo-Pascal(5.0) Files rather than translating them to C.

After some hours of reading the info I found out that "Assign()" is not
implemented;
but there is a workaround using "Bind" etc. (don't know why, either).
Then I found out, that the Borland directives {$I-} and {$I+}
are not supported and produce garbage error messages.
After removing those directives from the Pascal source it compiles fine.

The only thing I can't heck for now is how to use some equivalent for
Borlands
built-in variable "Ioresult" for testing the success of I/O operations.

Could someone please give me a hint how to catch bad I/O operations
like "File not found" or "Can't open" and that other related stuff in
GPC.

Any help is highly appreciated.   Thank you all out there.
