David Given dea8e6f334 Make the Pascal example look the same as the other hilo examples. 2020-02-05 23:05:10 +01:00
George Koehler b4be612832 Change readstring() to use buffered input.
Change from `uread(0, c, 1)` to `read(c)`, so input goes through
libpc's buffer.  If input is a tty in Unix, this reduces the number of
read(2) system calls from one per character to one per line.

This change will become necessary in CP/M when I enable the line
editor.

George Koehler e4ce7da0a2 Fix hilo.p for big-endian platforms.
Unless it is packed, a Pascal char is a C int.  Using C types, hilo.p
passed an int *buf to uread(), which expected a char *buf.  Then
uread() wrote the char on the end of the int.  This worked on
little-endian platforms.  This failed on big-endian platforms, as
writing the value to the big end of an int multiplied it by 16777216.

The fix is to use a packed array [0..0] of char in Pascal.  I also
change 'string' to a packed array, though this is not a necessary part
of the fix.

dtrg 921c55968c Adapted to tell the user what language they were written in (because they're too similar!). Modified the Pascal implementation to work with our new syscall model. 2007-04-21 23:19:32 +00:00
dtrg 681e2e0432 Added example programs. 2007-02-25 00:30:07 +00:00
