Message-ID: <27163@cup.portal.com> Date: 21 Feb 90 04:16:22 GMT Organization: The Portal System (TM) Lines: 9 I am a soon to be convert from Turbo Pascal to Turbo C (at least I'll make the attempt to add C to my toolset). I was wondering if there is an Equivalent to a Packed array of chars in C other than a char array (char[20]). I want to read in some files that I wrote w/ pascal using records that used PAC. Obviously the "null terminated string" is not an exact match. I was considerin emulating what I wan't by creating structures of single chars, but I was rathe hoping for an easier solution. Any ideas?
