That would be nice. Thank you.
I'll have a look at debootstrap.
But downloading a full system is really a problem for me.
Even if it's just the base.

Urks!
That's one of the sad things of GPC -
the changes often break old code. :-(
And this change really seems strange.

I've hopefully fixed that one. Could you please try to compile it again?
If there are more incompatiblities of that kind, I'll rather go with FPC.
I have deliberately kept my code compatible with both compilers.
I chose GPC for the Debian package, because I thought that is more
portable... but it has other problems as you have seen.

Done.
But it should run with any webserver, that is reasonably compatible with
the CGI/1.1 specification - but thttpd isn't.
Are there other webservers I should try?

Yes, that much is also explained in the New Maintainers' Guide, but it
warns newbies (which I am) to use it.
Okay... I'm going to experiment with it...
Next week.
Thanks to all who have helped me so far!
