That would also solve one of my pet peeves about Modula-2 which is the fact that nobody I've asked seems to know how InOut should be implemented. The differences between how the FST compiler and the Stony Brook compiler handle ReadString (and other routines) are slight, but infuriating. The one we have on our Un*x box doesn't even have InOut. -- ==================================================================== Six of one, 110 (base 2) of | Craig Spannring another. | icsu7039@caesar.cs.montana.edu ----------------------------------+--------------------------------
