This is true, but there should be a warning. With other words, there are two bugs (or missing features). BlockRead is declared as Procedure BlockRead(var f:File;var Buf;count:Word;var Result:Word);[IOCheck]; var do mean, Result is a in/out parameter, it should be initialized before the call. Actually Result is a out-only parameter, therefore the declaration should be: procedure BlockRead(var f: File; out Buf; Count: Word; out Result: Word); [IOCheck]; BTW: I don't have found [IOCheck] in the documentation, maybe it should be described for programmers, which want to write file handling functions which use the IOResult aka InOutRes error mechanism. wkr Peter. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
