When I did this for a basic program a little while ago I found that it wrote Integers,
Real Values etc differently to Pascal
Thus I had to convert it byte by byte (and I could get find me very little to help me)
A lot more than a few minutes work
I presume it is still the same
A negotiable supply of Stella would obtain you my ugly but workable code

Subject: [DUG]: Strange RECORD behaviour
I have been playing around with writing a random file in VisualBasic which
works OK, then thought I would use BP 7 to access this random file and so
created a record which I thought would be identical.
I was getting garbage with the Pascal program so...
When I look at the size of each, the BASIC version is 45 bytes and the
Pascal Version is 46 !!??
VB ... size is 45
Type People
InUse as Boolean
RecPos as Integer
Tag as Integer
Total as Integer
ID as Integer
FirstName as String * 15
LastName as String * 20
end Type
Pascal ... size is 46
Person = Record
InUse : Boolean;
RecPos : Integer;
Tag : Integer;
Total : Integer;
ID : Integer;
FirstName : String[15];
LastName : String[20];
end;
where is the problem? What is the solution?
Laurie..
