Description: Problem doing Pascal read through iserver
Component: af.to.sp
Date: Fri Jul 13 16:42:22 BST 1990
-----

It is possible to use the iserver for Pascal programs as has been
described in a bulletin number 6.  However there is a problem in the
af.to.sp routine which causes Pascal reads to be done on a character
by character basis, with a carriage return between each.  So where the
user would expect to have to type:

   123<RETURN>

he actually has to type:

   1<RETURN>2<RETURN>3<RETURN><RETURN>

There is a floppy containing replacement modules.  Both MAINENT and
AFTOSP modules are supplied in all the transputer modes.  There is
also a file called GO.BAT to show the instructions necessary to make
it work.

As the af.to.sp routines will not be part of any future release this
is the only workaround that will be issued.
