Hi Steve,I said i'd get back in touch about the probs i'm having at converting fast fileio from tdi to Benchmark.As you realise i'm still learning M2. Here they are:in Procedure CommonOpen var tmp : FileHandle; begin tmp := Open(Name,Mode); gives the error 133 Incompatible Assignment Throughout the file there is INC(IndexPtr) and INC(TmpBuf) both giving error 144 Incorrect type of parameter of standard procedure next one is For i := 1 TO CharsToMove DO gives a error 117 Incompatible operand types Final one is at the end IF DOSBase = NIL THEN DOSBase := OpenLibrary(DOSName,0) END giving error 133 again. OK i know you have a lot more to do than mess around with things like this that I should know how to fix myself(i will one day!)But all help is appreciated,especially when i am the only one over here in OZ that has Benchmark!! Will you be reposting the serial port stuff when you Benchmark ise it?? Thanks again Brendan Pratt
