As a user of the old Macintosh Pascal (later THINK Pascal), both ReadStr and WriteStr functions were included and I used them quite a bit. The names were different but the FPC implementation is basically the same as far as I can tell.
Besides backward compatibility, portability issues and personal preference, is there any functionality Val and Str may have that ReadStr and WriteStr don't? I can't see any, but wanted to make sure there there were no subtle technical issue(s) I might need to consider. Thank you for implementing these functions. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
