Fixed and checked in --- thanks very much for that.

I'd like tyo help a bit more for this fine compiler. As long as it is in 
my competences...

Allocated memory

Suppose I have a program that allocates 10 MB of memory.

The program stops.

Is memory automatically de-allocated? Or shgould I do this manually?

Mocka has the concept of MemoryPools. At the end of the program you 
simply kill the pool and that's it.

On any Unix, all resources the program was using get freed up when the
process gets destroyed [*]. This includes memory, open file handles,
etc. So you don't have to worry about it.

[*] With certain exotic exceptions like shared memory segments.

I can create, open, read and append files using the Modula-2 front end. 
So that part seems to work. I guess the Pascal units (or whatever they 
are called) need some touching up. Lately I fixed a 30 year old error 
in a low level library... In the Modula-2 section.

You're not using the Modula-2 front end... :o)

Nothing. I've just had a look at the libpascal source code and the
relevant files are calling _open() and _creat() instead of open() and
creat() for some reason; it is perfectly legitimately broken. remove()
was simply not supported in the extremely minimal syscall library for
linux386.

I've changed libpascal to call the correct functions, and I've added
remove() and unlink() to the syscall library; however as these changes
are scattered across the system I'm not going to try and produce a
patch, so I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to check out head of CVS to
get the fixed version. None of this is at all tested. There may be a
*reason* why libpascal is calling _open() and _creat().

To check out CVS, install a CVS client, then run this commands:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous <at> tack.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tack co
-P Ack

This will download the ACK source into a directory called Ack.

Sorry for the inconvenience...

GUI front end

I'm working (off and on) on a GUI front end for the ACK:

http://fruttenboel.verhoeven272.nl/ack/gui.html

Not sure when it will be ready....

It's almost ready... You can compile, run and execute Unix commands from 
within the GUI. All output is logged in the GUI.

The webpage contains screenshots. In the download section you can get 
yourself a copy of the tcl script:

	http://fruttenboel.verhoeven272.nl/ack/data/gack.tcl

The gack is only tested with the Modula-2 front end. Volunteers for the 
C and Pascal front ends? :o)
