Greetings ... Someone told me that it's impossible to call GDDM routines from a PASCALVS program running under CMS. However, I think that is possible to build this routines in REXX and call them from PASCALVS using a CMS procedure that calls CMS commands and programs. Does anybody have some experience with this kind of problem? Is there some public domain programs to solve it? Please, any help will be welcome| Thanks very much in advance.

I have a PASCGDDM MACLIB which I updated from one that was developed at a computer center where I used to work which allows VS/Pascal/VS (depending on which version is where the VS goes ;-) to call GDDM routines. I don't have regular VM access anymore so I can't recall exactly how they were set up, but it was fairly straightforward (declare the functions/procedures to be FORTRAN and be careful about how arguments are passed). Linking is just a matter of doing the appropriate GLOBAL TXTLIB commands. I will note that calling GDDM from Pascal is not _supported_ by IBM. -dh -- Don Hosek // Quixote Digital Typography 714-625-0147 dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu On contract to Beckman Instruments 714-961-4562 dahosek@beckman.com
