Thank you, Andreas, that worked perfectly.
New question: Other than asking here, how would I have known that
from the documentation? In the manuals that came with 1.0.6, file
units.pdf does not mention WinCRT at all. The only mention I could
find was in user.pdf where section 9.3 says,
wincrt This implements a console in a standard GUI window, contrary
to the crt unit which is for the Windows console only.
I don't understand what this means. The following program:
uses WinCRT;
begin
WriteLn('Hello world!");
end.
compiled for Win32, behaves identically to its counterpart with
"uses CRT" instead, when launched from a shell command prompt.
So what does the comment in units.pdf really mean? I wonder if, in
the next version, the documentation could expand on it a little bit?
Thanks again,
- Rich
