Update:
I have just found out that the problem is turbo pascal itself. I have just ran
my programs compiled in tp, and am getting simular run-time errors, and so
looked through yes documentation and yes, stated, that it was written in turbo
pascal. To fix the problem, all that is needed is to download the patch for the
compiler and re-compile the sources. (That is, if I can actually find the
author and get a response). If you want the webpage, please mail me and I will
be able to give you the link. (I have only tried this on tp7 so don't know if
it works for earlier versions of pascal).
Andrew.
