I have written a fair number of Turbo Pascal programs, but much
fewer on standard pascal.  I wonder if someone would save me the
trouble of finding out some elementary things myself considering Sun
4 pc-compiler pascal.  To start with, is there a function for
finding out whether a file exists, like using IOResult in Turbo
Pascal.  If not, any other reasonable way without resorting to
systems access (or whatever) or C-programming.  This to start with. 
I shall probably have some more questions later. 

Email is welcome, but a in my opinion messages here in the news are
preferable, because that way knowledge disseminates better.  (And
that is what this system is all about, if you pardon my
meta-comment.)
