It's JRT Pascal and it's in micro:on simtel20. After a lot of work, I mangaged to bootstrap my machine to modem7 by way of mboot3, ftp all the files (warning: get20 didn't always work properly on my machine), and download them. (Strange, I never had to convert ITS format. I wonder if ftp or something was doing that for me.) Anyway, the program I want to run gets some strange errors from JRT for normal operations involving read, readln, write, writeln, reset, and rewrite. Could someone tell me where I can find a copy of the JRT manual or a few large example programs using those features? Thanks. One quirk I've already fixed was that you can't use the string initialize as an identifier in JRT. I had procedure initialize; and JRT said identifier expected. Changing the string stopped the error message. Does anyone know if it's possible to create stand alone applications with JRT or will I always have to type: exec file.int ? Thank you for your help!
