Jan: > Well, that's implemented in Borland/Turbo Pascal, Free Pascal, GNU > Pascal, ... More precisely, in Borland's Crt unit that is imitated for compatibility (good idea) by Free and GNU Pascals. But what about DEC (no, Compaq, no, HP) Pascal ? Or the "pc" you find on a Unix station ?... And there is not everywhere the good old 80x25 text area - e.g. as you observed, the NT/2K console which is rather a succession of lines. Standard in Pascal are Read, Write, Eof, Reset, etc. for which you find equivalents in Ada.Text_IO. ________________________________________________________ Gautier -- http://www.mysunrise.ch/users/gdm/gsoft.htm NB: For a direct answer, e-mail address on the Web site!
