Does anyone out there know how to convert an integer to a longreal
(in modula2 ofcourse).

Thanks,

Well depends, which Modula 2 are you using?  Try looking at the
VAL procedure.

In TopSpeed it would be something like this:
      i: INTEGER;
      x: LONGREAL;
      ....
      x:= VAL(LONGREAL, i);

Of course some other version may (prob'ly will) do it differently.
You might also check the FLOAT procedure (in the "standard" (3th ed)
it's for converting CARDINAL to REAL).

Greg,

Thanks for the information on the integer to longreal conversion in
modula2.  Not sure if it worked yet (am getting this info for a friend)
but I will tell you if it did.

Thanks,

Barry

It's very simple:

VAR i:INTEGER;
    l:LONGREAL;
...
    i:=10;    (* e.g. *)
    l:=LONGREAL(i);
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
