  I don't understand.  If you use WRITE, then it does not add an end of line
character.  The next write or writeln will continue on the same line, not at
the beginning of the next line.  For example:

    Write ('One, ');
    Write ('Two, ');
    write ('Three.');

  would create an output line of

   One, Two, Three.

  Is this what you want?

  WRITE does not put the CR/LF, writeln does.  If you want to control exactly
what characters are output, you could use the CHR function to convert an ASCII
code of a number into the actual character.  You could then get an explicit
CR/LF with the following statement:

  write (chr(13),chr(10));

  for i := 0 to (N-1) do begin
    write (max[i],'  ');
  end;
  writeln;
