[fpc-pascal] Reading and writing char

[Thomas Young]

Hi,

I'm trying to read and write ascii characters using FPC. I had no problems doing this years ago with Think Pascal & Code Warrior.

For some reason I'm not able to read and write ascii characters above ascii 127 with FPC. Can someone explain this to me?

Thanks in advance!

Using this code:
	for i:= 33 to 226 do
		writeln('Character: ', chr(i), '   Ascii value: ', i:1);

Character: !   Ascii value: 33
Character: "   Ascii value: 34
Character: #   Ascii value: 35
Character: $   Ascii value: 36
Character: %   Ascii value: 37
Character: &   Ascii value: 38
Character: '   Ascii value: 39
Character: (   Ascii value: 40
Character: )   Ascii value: 41
Character: *   Ascii value: 42
