According to Joao Miguel:
I'm trying to compile the system.pas unit (contained in bpcompat.zip) with my program. The compiler gives the error:
"system.o: Undefined symbol `__fmode' referenced from text segment"
I'm using Free-BSD 2.1. [...]
I am afraid this system Unit is not {yet} very portable. It is known to run under DJGPP (DOS), but to make it usable for FreeBSD, probably some work will be necessary. AFAIK, `FMode' is responsible for write access when `reset'ting a file; to get the same functionality without this variable you can use `update' instead of `reset'.
Hope this helps,
Peter
