Is there anyone who has experience in using random access file types on
a Sun 3/50, with only the standard Berkeley (Sun) Pascal present.
This is my problem :
I am porting some Pascal (AOS/VS pascal - from some Data General Machine)
code to our Sun 3/50 environment.
The Pascal code uses 'random acces' file types.
Berkeley (Sun) compiler does not support this.
I was thinking of the following solutions :
-----------------------------------------
- Rewrite the file handling parts in C.
Problems : . file parameter passing between C and Pascal functions
. the C and Pascal file structure is very different.
- Loading the complete file into memory.
Problems : . de file has a size of about 16 megabyte. (Slowwwww)
Anyone out there who can suggest other solution, or has comments on
my ideas ??
