Glad to hear you sorted out your problem. Nice work. Thanks eL, That free download made it easy. Jorpho mentioned Python. Now I am thinking I might try looking into that to see if it would be any easier for writing a program from scratch. Can I get a Windows look with it instead of a DOS Window? …

Yeah, I have recompiled the old program (even made a few changes for esthetic reasons, i.e., line spacing) and it works just as it should. It took me over 3 hours to download the free program but it was worth it. Guess I'll keep it around in case I get froggy again. Bob PS - My eyes are sensitive to …

I went ahead and downloaded the program and it worked just as you have said. Thank all of you for your help. Bob

Hi Davros, Thank you for the information about the free version of Pascal. I have found it but before I download it I have a question. After I download it how do I compile my old program in the Pascal download? Do I have to type in my old program or can I copy and paste the steps and click a button …

Have you tried the "Browse" then "Add Attachment" buttons, inside the Vogons new post webform? If your attachment won't get uploaded successfully, perhaps you could rename the file for uploading. You could rename it to .TXT A file with the .TXT extension would be OK to upload to Vogons. Whoever …

Here is the output from the program (without data entry). The copyright was added later. Bob

There was a button to click to turn the PAS into an e.x.e file which I did. I have the original PAS file saved but don't know how to post it or upload it so you could try to compile it. Bob ETA: Could email it?

Her is one of my programs. It is the one I would like to get to run on newer versions of Windows. It ran on whatever version preceded Vista. I see it did not paste the way it looks in the file with indents and staggering. Bob program SOLARPROGA(input,output); var sr2mnth,sr2dte,sr2yr,sr2h,sr2m,sr2s, …

Thanks Retro. Davros, I might have a txt file of my programs (or 1 of them) on a CD, but it will take some days to find unless I get lucky. Will post the file when I find it. Don't understand about the uses line. Thanks, Bob

Sorry for the delay in responding. My ISP acted up. The diskette has a label with "Learn Pascal in Three Days (2nd Ed) Companion Diskette 1997 Wordware Publishing, Inc. 2320 Los Rios Blvd Plano, Texas 75074" on it. Book name is the same first line with Sam Abolrous (author) also. Just found old …

I wonder if the message is referring to Windows 3? If it is, then you could install an old copy of Windows 3 (still available on places like ebay) on to your current machine (you'll need a floppy disk drive), using the free to download DOSBox emulator, and then try running your Pascal program. Edit …
