I tried to compile the Skeleton source in the Examples folder, and it
throws an error... I don't have it up right now, of course, but it
seems to happen anytime I use the StdFile module.  Has anyone come
across this?

Also... It's been a while since I've used Pascal, but is it possible
to setup a constant array? ... for example, if I want to store image
data in the program and index thru it to draw an image.. kind of like
Applesoft's DATA statement.... or C.. statically assigning values to
an array ex: array[10] = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10;?

thanks
