"Official" Pascal for opening a file and associating a name with it
(e.g., a disk file) goes like this:
assign(aFile, FileNameString);
reset(aFile); {or rewrite, etc.}
All of the Pascals that I have used allowed the following shorthand,
an extension:
reset(aFile, FileNameString); {or rewrite, etc.}
At least one of these Pascals was not a Macintosh Pascal, so I never
considered it a "Mac" extension. Yet, I can find no possibility of
this in FPC, in spite of its various compatibility modes.
I tried overloading reset() (newbie alert on the overloading thing)
but it didn't work.
What say ye?
Lance
