- I was wondering if someone out there could help me with a little problem.
- I'm using a very old version of Turbo Pascal (3.0) and am having trouble with
- a text manipulation program I made. I made this program to read in parts of a
- text file, and produce some output to the screen. Everything works good the
- first run, just like it should. But say I change something and re-compile it
- or exit, run a different program, then come and run that one again, I get
- screwed output! It puts in control characters and other crap that is not
- suppose to be there. I think it has something to do with the memory because
- everytime I startup the computer and run the program I made before any other,
- it works fine. But as soon as something else is in the memory, bam! It goes
- screwy. Any suggestions? It's really starting to get on my nerves. And it's
- not any TSR's, cause I removed them and it did the same thing! Is there some
- way to clear the memory as you run the program? Any help would be muchly
- appreciated! Thanx.
