Also thanks for ]the great info on the comand line parsing or reading,,, ] ]Perrone Ford We've got a Cyber 170/750 running NOS (2.3). The version of pascal we use is PASCAL-6000 (V4.1.E), and on the compiler listing we get "E.T.H. ZEURICH / UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA". I pretty much trust the compiler, as this compiler is a descendant of the original pascal compiler written for the CDC 6600. Using the Cyber made me appreciate the EOF() and EOLN() functions of pascal (newline is defined to be 12 zero bits aligned on a word boundary -- which meant you had to be careful in outputting colons -- unless you were working with the 6/12 character set). //-n-\\ Naoto Kimura _____---=======---_____ (csun!csuna!abcscnuk) ====____\ /.. ..\ /____==== // ---\__O__/--- \\ Enterprise...
