Interface

Type
  WrkStr  = String(255);
  Pointer = ^void;
  NameT   = array[1..13] of char;

  BinFile  = record
             Name   : NameT;
             Handle : Integer;
             BSize  : Integer;
           end;

Var
  IOResultTemp : Integer;

procedure Assign(var F: BinFile; Name: WrkStr);
procedure Reset(var F: BinFile; RecSize: Integer);
procedure Rewrite(var F: BinFile; RecSize: Integer);
procedure BlockWrite(var F: BinFile; var Buf: void; Count: Integer; var Result: Integer);
procedure BlockRead(var F: BinFile; var Buf: Void; Count: Integer; var Result: Integer);
procedure Close(var F: BinFile);
function  IOResult: Integer;


Implementation


procedure Assign(var F: BinFile; Name: WrkStr);
var
  i : Integer;
begin
  for i := 1 to 12 do
    if length(Name) >= i then
      F.Name[i] := Name[i]
    else
      F.Name[i] := chr(0);

  F.Name[13] := chr(0);
  F.Handle   := 0;
end;
