The course requires a printout of the program listing, followed by a _printed copy_ of the run results. The question was how to generate that printed copy of the run. As far as I know, there's no way to do that easily from turbo 3.0. The only solution I know of is fairly unobvious, a really ugly kludge, and not at all the sort of thing a CS student drilled in 'elegance at all costs' will be pre- pared to think of. One has to modify ALL the writeln's in the program, as well as add a writeln after each readln, to simulate this 'printer echo' mode. If you know a neat, elegant way to do that from 3.0, please enlighten us. Otherwise, please don't be so quick to condemn 'homework on the net' -- not all valid questions come from CS grad students! ======================================================================= Internet:lihan@walt.cc.utexas.edu Disclaimer: My employer doesn't MaBellNet:(512)459-1602 even know UseNet exists, let SlowNet:varies chaotically, alone that I'm on it and ex- e-mail for current value pressing opinions ... +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ (-: a.k.a.
