Subj : Need help with LordMenu utility
To   : Donald Tidmore

DT> I need to know if anyone with a LOT of Pascal coding experience can try
DT> their hand at fixing the LordMenu utility.

  Sure, I'd be happy to help.

DT> Pascal or Borland Pascal, and neither one has any known way to force the
DT> program to write strings of ANSI characters to a file, so that the file
DT> does not contain lines longer than 128 spaces.

  The obvious solution to this is not to use files of type 'text' but rather
the "normal" 'file', and then add the CR/LFs to the file in the code.

DT> I've got the program's source code online at my Castle Camelot web-site.
DT> URL is http://www.fidotel.com/public/camelot/IGM-Code/lm2-code.zip

  I downloaded it, compiled it (there seems to be an EXEC.PAS missing, but I
managed to program around it), and ran it with no problems.

  Can you please add some more info about the problem?

  - Exactly what error message (if any) do you get?

  - Do I need some special data file in order to force it to "choke"?

  - What memory sizes are you using?

  - Do you get the same error/problem regardless of platform you compile it
to?

  Those for starters... :)
