I am trying to use library routines from /usr/libc.a in a Berekely Pascal
program. According to the manuals, it is possible, but I can't for the life
of me figure out how. If I do the following:
program help;
type
str= packed array [0..79] of char;
procedure system(string: str); external;
begin
system('man man');
end.
I get messages that system is an already predeclared library routine. Without
declaring it as an external routine I'm told that it is undefined. I loose
either way. I played with .h files and didn't get much further. Any ideas?
