Hi
Sorry if this was handled in a FAQ, but I haven't found it.
I'd like to read bytes from a file, so I looked at some of the examples. I found an assign(file of byte...). Cool. It doesn't seem to work to great tho... How big does it read? Are you sure its just 1 byte? How big is a byte anyway? Looking at the examples and the info file, I get confused. Is an integer 16bit or 32bit? What happens with type byte=0..255; I tried defining them like in the info file (using __short__, etc.) but it doesn't compile. When I use the example's stuff it does compile.
Hmmm... I am converting some stuff from borland, and some from fpk, so I would like to know how to get 8, 16 and 32 bit signed and unsinged integers. I don't mind doing a search/replace on the source, but I do need to know how big each thing is.
AND how to apply them properly to files ;)
Cheers Berend.
