Quoting Bob Dunnell to Lawrence Gordon:
BD> type
BD>     employee = record
BD>              name,                      {31 bytes}
BD>              address : string[30];      {31 bytes}
BD>              salary        : real;      {6  bytes}
BD>              married       : boolean;   {1  byte}
BD>              num_children  : byte;      {1  byte}
BD>     end;                                {70 bytes}
I had a problem converting this construct over to PB.  In PB, single 
precision reals are 4 bytes; double precision reals are 8 bytes.  There isn't 
an equivalent 6 byte real in PB.
BD> var
BD>    temp  : employee;                     {temp record}
BD>    tempf : file of employee;             {temp file handle}
BD>
BD> begin
BD>      with temp do                       {assign values to record}
BD>      begin
BD>           name := 'Lawrence Gordon';
BD>           address := 'Ladue, home of the rich.';
BD>           salary := 780000.45;
If I had that salary, I would hire someone to do my programming. :)
