hello.....i've recently begun coding using Pascal...and can someone tell me<br>
what the built in assembler is and what are it's uses? the second question <br>
what are Com Ports and what can i do with them<br>
keep it real<br>

It is a fact, that the Pascal-Language isnt very fast. So if you need the maximum power, you processor can give you - use assembler.<br>
(or if you need some int-calls)<br>
With the inline assembler, you can comfortably include assembler-programms in your pascal program.<br>
<br>
like: (turn mouse-cursor on)<br>
<br>
asm<br>
mov ax,1<br>
int 33h <br>
end;<br>
<br>
but if you just started in pascal, forget asm <br>
for a few month....:)<br>

What can i do with com-ports: <br>
this is a funny question. you could also ask:<br>
"what can i do with the keyboard-connector?"<br>
<br>
a COM-port connects your pc with other devices, like mouse, modem, track-ball, etc...<br>
<br>
you can build yourself some circuits and connect them to the com-ports to controll, lights, motors, etc... (like i do - for this pascal is just perfect!)<br>
