[comp.lang.modula2] ** OpenOutput troubles... **

laurent@hpgnd.HP.COM (Laurent JULLIARD) (10/29/90)

Hello,


I have been using the German Modula-2 package on my ATARI ST for a couple
of weeks and I find it pleasant to use. This public domain package is
available from the "panarthea" atari archiver. One of its main drawbacks
is its poor documentation as far as the libraries are concerned. Most of the
comments are in German but well the few comments are however self-explanatory.

For those who are not very familiar with the German language I can provide
them with a translation of the READ.ME file into french. English version to
come very soon.....

I have a question for you now : I get some troubles when using the OpenOutput
procedure of the InOut MODULE. For all I know this call is devoted to output
redirection isn't it ? However when using for instance : OpenOutput('file.txt')
in a program all the following calls such as WriteString,etc... still go to
the screen and not to the disk file. WHY ???
I have to mention that the Done variable from the InOut Module is set to
FALSE after the OpenOutput call. So something is wrong with it !

I would really appreciate any suggestions

Thanks for your help !
