gp2c-0.0.3pl3 released

[Karim Belabas <Karim.Belabas@math.u-psud.fr>]

Dear PARI enthousiast,                                                          

Bill has just released GP2C 0.0.3pl3.

GP2C is a tool to translate GP code to C code using libpari, which can load
the compiled routines transparently in a gp session. It can be used to
speed up gp, to look for bugs in GP scripts, or to learn libpari programming.

It is available from

  http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/download.html                                  

section GP2C.
