- Hi Everyone,
-
- Just want to complete the series of links regarding how to prepare an
- application for future versions.
-
- We finally decided on a strategy suggested by John Olsen and Chris Knepper.
- Each file will be assigned a version number, and a DoRead method and constants
- will correspond to each version. The advantage of the strategy is that it is
- very straightforward to implement and later understand. With many versions, it
- could have the disadvantage of producing bulky code. Accordingly, Steve
- Friedrich suggested putting previous versions of DoRead into a segment seperate
- from the other code.
-
- Out thanks again to all those who responded. It was a fine learning experience
- for us. Especially fascinating was that by disabling range checking,
- aArray[0..0] is a way to have dynamic arrays in Pascal.
-
- Regards,
- Ernie
