Chris:

You need to close the file before calling reset. If you add

close(f)

just before

reset(f)

your program works fine. Whether this is a *feature* or a *bug* depends on the definitions of reset/rewrite in the (various) Pascal standard(s). But it sounds logical to me that you should close a file prior to opening it for reading.

To test the new Beta-Version of GPC I wrote a little program like this :

program test;

var i : integer; f : FILE of integer;

begin assign(f,'./test.dat'); rewrite(f); for i:=1 to 10 do write(f,i);

Add this line:

close (f);

reset(f); while not (eof(f)) do begin read(f,i); writeln(i); end; close(f); end.

When compiling there's no error or anything and it compiles quite nice, but when running my program I get a message like this :

chris@bockermann:/home/chris/programs/pascal > ./test ?Gpc: `Reset', SeekUpdate' or `SeekRead' to nonexistent internal file `F'

What did I do wrong ? Can anybody help me ?
