I have just started to bring up Tex on Ultrix (and Suns) and ran into an immediate problem with the "others" clause in case statements. Tex uses 'em and pc doesn't want to know about it. Any assistance would be appreciated. < dave stampf

Sun's Pascal compiler provides the "otherwise" clause in case statements, which is like the "default" keyword in C's switch/case statements. See page 84 in the Pascal Programmer's Guide (purple tabs). The "otherwise" is probably what you want. I don't know what to do for Ultrix. Bill Tuthill

The Berkeley Pascal compiler (pc on our Unix system) has an option (-O if I remember correctly) that takes out all the others and converts them to standard Pascal. Actually, the feature is on pxp rather than pc. I you can run your code through pxp -O, your problems should be solved.
