Hello SirStorm25

Didn't expect to see you here. Check the top of system unit and systemh.inc and you'll find out why.

Neither did I!!!

I think I get it now :) , so, I have to change {$undef FPC_HAS_FEATURE_TEXTIO} in system.pas to {$define FPC_HAS_FEATURE_TEXTIO} ? Regards

Well... just try it =^D
How can you use file related functions without any file system support (don't worry, I'm working on it B-))?

Well, Im trying to see if I can simply get it to load a text file in the iso and display it on the console. But, sadly, whenever I do define the TextIO feature, it comes with many more problems %-| , here are the errors that come from text.inc:

text.inc(21,11) Error: Identifier not found "Do_Close"
text.inc(27,20) Error: Identifier not found "Do_Read"
text.inc(39,14) Error: Identifier not found "Do_Write"
text.inc(60,10) Error: Identifier not found "Do_Open"
text.inc(72,20) Error: Identifier not found "Do_Isdevice"
text.inc(201,12) Error: Identifier not found "Do_Erase"
text.inc(211,15) Error: Identifier not found "Do_Rename"
text.inc(294,26) Error: Identifier not found "Do_Isdevice"
text.inc(303,36) Error: Identifier not found "Do_FilePos"
text.inc(347,16) Error: Identifier not found "do_seek"
text.inc(636,13) Fatal: Unknown compilerproc "fpc_widestr_to_ansistr". Check
if you use the
correct runtime library.

I guess that fatal one is because I haven't defined WideStrings.

But, the others, I have no idea about them!!!

Well, for the iso... I guess it's possible to read files stored in it. Grub can read menu.cfg, so why can't we? The problem is... how?

If we could get those functions working it might be possible, but text.inc doesn't like to be compiled in this case :-( . If we could get the code for these functions and place them in one single file maybe... readwritelib.pas, but thats all the ideas I have. Unless we could try and invent our own functions for reading files. But that might take even longer! Any Ideas??? :confused:
