Hello Dominique:

    I have used most of the FIO routines from TopSpeed Modula-2 2.00 for the past several weeks for projects at work.

    The only incompatibilities I encountered were with trying to interface some of my own FIO routines (Create, Rename, Open, etc.) with FIO's read and write routines.

    I found out from Chris at JPI that FIO maintains file handle tables that contain buffer information and so on.  So I went back to using JPI's Create, Rename, Open, etc. and everything worked fine (by the way, my procedures were almost like theirs --- so I like remaking the wheel <grin>).

    What FIO procedures are causing you problems?


P.S.  Chris at JPI stated that they are working on a new release. Neil Jensen stated that new docs will also be out shortly.
