These Pointers are referencing BIOS entry points. This is from memory, since I don't have the references here, and it has been a While.... AuxInPtr and AuxOutPtr are Pointers containing the addresses of the respective AuxIn Function and AuxOut Procedure, which are used (and not available as a standard Function/Procedure) by the standard TP3 I/O drivers. Each of the I/O possibilities has a corresponding Procedure/Function, address Pointer, and BIOS entry point as follows: Device proc/funct address BIOS entry CON:,TRM:,KBD: ConIn:Char; ConInPtr CONIN CON:,TRM:,KBD: ConOut(Ch:Char); ConOutPtr CONOUT LST: LstOut(Ch:Char); LstOutPtr LIST AUX: AuxIn:Char; AuxInPtr READER AUX: AuxOut(ch:Char); AuxOutPtr PUNCH USR: UsrIn:Char; UsrInPtr CONIN ? USR: UsrOut(ch,Char); UsrOutPtr CONOUT ? I'm not sure about the last two entry points. Also, if memory serves correctly, there is another Function, ConSt:Boolean, which is used by the KeyPressed Function, having a corresponding address Pointer, ConStPtr, With BIOS entry Const. if you Write your own I/O drivers, you should assign the address of the corresponding driver Function or Procedure to the proper Pointer Variable. Your question is a bit vague; what specific problems have you encountered? I think that my recollection is accurate; however, my old references are in an attic in Pennsylvania, While I am here in Huntsville, Alabama. Perhaps someone else could confirm and/or amplify on these observations. }
