Hey all! Just wondering if you know the Unix Pascal equivilent of Turbo Pascal's "assign". I would consult a manual, but no one I know has one and I'm not about to run out to the Univ. bookstore and get one for $30-$40. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Chris Chernesky - chernesk@ucunix.san.uc.edu - ccherne@moe.eng.uc.edu - chernesk@ucbeh.san.uc.edu

Ex: rewrite(infile,'indata.dat'); reset(outfile,'outdata.dat'); Easy enough? -- ****************************************************************************** * Matt Gove * Need any magnetic tape with one * * Internet: cs202216@umbc5.umbc.edu * sticky side? * ******************************************************************************

To open a file in TP you need to assign & then reset. Most other Pascal compilers don't require the assign, just the reset. However you must specify the filename in the reset. Terrell

Haah,
Berkeley Pascal does not have an assign command. Instead you
associate the file name with the file pointer like this:
reset(f,a) where 'a' is a string causes the file whose
name is 'a' to be associated with 'f' in
addition to the normal function of reset
rewrite(f,a)
