ETH the standard Modula-2 Compiler defines CARDINAL as subrange of INTEGER, for the range [MAX(INTEGER)..MAX(CARDINALold)] and further you may use then LONGINT. In the manual is written that CARDINAL is obsolete and should therefore be replaced by INTEGER or LONGINT wherever possible. Cheers...Michael uucp: mrys@ethz.uucp IPSANet : mrys@ipsaint
