They seem not to be.  Where do I find information about the unix unit anyway? 
I looked in the Unix, FCL and Reference manuals.

That is a very good suggestion and solved the problem :)  But I'm lazy, so 
when I decided to look at programming in pascal again, I took some old 
sources and only changed what was really necessary.

The last time I did some serious pascal programming was when Turbo Pascal 6.0 
was brand new...

Groetjes,
