I know in C you can set a variable so that it makes itself in the heap storage,, can this be done in pascal??? Also: How can a DTA be set up (variables.. offsets, details mon!) and how do I read it, is it just a sector read?? thanks again! -+-+-+- -+-+-+- John Adams INTERNET -> jma@gnu.ai.mit.edu "What you get is all real; I can't put on an act, it takes brains to do that anyway..." -- XTC -=-=-=- -=-=-=-
