Dear friends,

i have a problem with some inputs under fpc.
I wrote the programs how under Turbo Pascal (Dos), but i do not know, why the inputs can not be modified.
Here is one example:

program test123;
uses crt;
var name    : string[20];
Begin
gotoxy(3,3);writeln('Please enter your name: ');
gotoxy(30,3);readln(name);
.....
end;

If i put in the name, i have to do it very correctly, because i cannot use the key how BACKSPACE or DELETE to modify a sign.

What can i do?

Yours,

Stefan Hintermeier,

Under which OS are you working and what version of the compile do you use? This was afaik only a problem under Linux when using version 1.0.2 or earlier and was fixed in 1.0.4.

Dear Jonas,

i am working under Suse Linux, 6.3 (came out last year).

Yours

Stefan

And which version of FPC? Try

ppc386 -iV

to get the version number.

I suggest you upgrade FPC to version 1.0.4; you can install a .rpm from our website. If RPM complains about missing glibc packages, you can ignore this error and use the --force option to RPM.

Hi Jonas,

my version number is 0.99.12

it is original from the cd of Suse-Linux.

Yours,

Stefan.

!! Upgrade to 1.0.4, that version should have the problem fixed. See http://www.freepascal.org/download.html
an RPM should be available. You may need to add the --force option if it complains about mssing glibc support (you can safely ignore that)

In that case, please upgrade to version 1.0.4. Rpm's are available for download on our website.
