Hi, I am new to dynamic/open arrays. I've installed 1.9.4 and played with the example code, read the docs, and converted a sample program that I'd written using static arrays to dynamic. I have two residual questions:
(1) Previously, I had fillchar'd the static arrays with zeros because they are sparse-ish. Looks like dynamic arrays are automagically filled with zeros. Is this true/permanent? Or a lucky coincidence that I shouldn't count upon? If the later, is there a fast one-liner like fillchar that I can use to initalize array to zeros? (2) There is no way, I supposed, to switch the array indexes to start at 1 is there? I ask not from intrasigence but because I am using matricies and it rains on my elegance parade to have to perform the trivial translation each time I want to access an element using absolute row/column addresses. I also have a lot of older code and I'll have to hunt through it and make this change everywhere... Thanks! -Alan _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
