Dear Stan:

I made an experiment with the Command intrinsic: I called it with a string
actual parameter from Pascal. It worked. My earlier programs are full of
intrinsic calls with "packed array of char" actual parameters where the
manual requires "BA" parameters. That means a lot of strmoves, strwrites
and strwrites in my earlier programs.

Can I call generally the TurboImage and other system intrinsics with
string[...] type parameters from Pascal?

It might be true if the compiler passes the address of the first string
element to the intrinsic instead of the address of the string length.

                TIA
                                              Frank

There are 3 kinds of programming errors:  syntactical, semantical and mystical.
The programmers have to suck up the users just as much as absolutely necessary.
