I couldn't find this anywhere in Wirth's book (4th edition), so here goes:
How do you convert from a cardinal or integer type to an enumerated type?
I would like very much to keep a particular enumerated type in a program I'm
writing, but this program requires that some data of that type be written to
and read from a file. If x is of my enumerated type, it's easy enough to save
it to a file by saying "WriteInt (ORD(x))" (after redirecting output, of
course), but how do I read that value back in?
Enquiring minds want to know!
