Questions Here: After recovering from a hard drive crash, I installed Borland Pascal 7.0 from the original floppies. I had used the former installation for years without trouble and have a large number of programs I need to use. Now, BP.EXE restarts the BIOS, although the needed files DPMI16BI.OVL and RIM.EXE are also present in C:\DOS\BIN. (TURBO.EXE will run, but I need the memory of Protected Mode.) .

There is one difference: the floppies I had available loaded MSDOS v 6.2, while I earlier ran v 6.22.

Please help!

i wrote this program for my programmin class and i cannot figure out why i keep receiving the same error message i get the error 4 duplicate identifier for the variable "triangle" which is a string.

program triangle; {Change the Program name to something else like triangles}

uses crt;

const skip=' ';

var
 side1:integer;
 side2:integer;
 side3:integer;
 triangle:string; 

begin
  clrscr;
  writeln('Enter first side: ');
  readln(side1);
  writeln('Enter second side: ');
  readln(side2);
  writeln('Enter longest side(if applicable): ');
  readln(side3);
  if (side1=side2) or (side2=side3) or (side1=side3) then
  triangle:='isosceles'
  else
      if (side1<>side2) and (side2<>side3) and (side3<>side1) then
      triangle:='scalene'
      else
          if (side1=side2) and (side2=side3) then
          triangle:='equilateral';
  writeln('The triangle is ',traingle); {Wrong spelling of triangle You wrote traingle instead of triangle}
  if (triangle='isosceles') and (sqr(side1)+sqr(side2)=sqr(side3)) then
  writeln('The triangle is also a right triangle.')
  else
      writeln('The triangle is not a right triangle.');
  if (triangle='scalene') and (sqr(side1)+sqr(side2)=sqr(side3)) then
  writeln('the triangle is also a right triangle.')
  else
      writeln('the triangle is not a right triangle.');

  readln;
end. (The preceding unsigned comment was added by 98.196.206.181 (talk • contribs) 22:19, 23 October 2007)

- it seems that you can't have a variable with the same name as the programs name
so Change the Programs Name To something else like Triangles
