Hi all! Here are some more suggestions on Borland compatibility. The following code does not compile in GPC; Program Blah; type pChar = CString; { or ^Char} Procedure DoThis(aThis : pChar); Begin {blah, blah}; End; Begin DoThis ('This is the day!'); End. The compiler does not accept the parameter as being valid (you have to declare a pChar variable and all). This code would compile under Borland. Best regards, The Chief Dr Abimbola A.
