Indeed, the construct you descibe was known to cause code problems in Lightspeed Pascal 1.0. As for your FOR loop: are you using the StringOf function? The StringOf supplied with 1.0 trashed registers, which tended to screw up most looping constructs. The current version is 1.11. There is a patch available, downloadable from comp.binaries.mac or from info-mac on SUMEX, which should help quite a bit. It fixes the CG and StringOf bug, among other things. The new version also fixes compatibility problems with new hardware and software configurations. --Rich
