[fpc-pascal]input, output

[Zlatko.Petrin at allzool.bio.uni-giessen.de]

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

I have tried to change the standard in- and output files in an 
exercice-program all day, but did not succeed.

I know that this has to be done in the case of Turbo-PASCAL for 
instance in the following way:
...
assign ( input , 'test.dat' ) ;
reset ( input ) ;
...
However, it does not work when using the Free-PASCAL-Compiler. 
It does even not work when using the MS-PASCAL-Syntax. And, 
unfortunately, I was not able to work out the correct syntax by 
studying the documentation.

Would you please give me a hint? (German or English)

Yours sincerely,
Zlatko Petrin
