Thanks for your help with blockread. Giving the blocksize with reset (myfile, 1) fixed it!

What version of rpm do you use ? Installation worked fine with the tar + script, so I'm set for now. Re: rpm error... The installer prompted me for a root password, and then brought up a little box that said "calculating package dependencies". Then the box disappeared, without any error message or indication of status. Inspection revealed that it had not installed anything. Now that I think about it, I realize I couldn't have spent nearly an hour on it. I don't really know what version of rpm I use... if you're really curious, and can tell me where to look for the version info, I'll get it for you. I'm really an amateur with linux. The best answer I can give you right now is: "whatever comes with the RedHat 8.0 that the computer manufacturer pre-installed for me" :-) Thanks! -David _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
