I have a problem, though it might be virus. In my school, when i compile pascal programms and IF there is readln on the end - the computer restarts. The OS is windows XP.
Does anyone here know something about dealing this issue ? Thanks in advance.

Very cool! It's not easy for a user application (including a compiler) to do that.
Yes, it sounds a lot like your Pascal compiler is broken - either by a virus or just a disk copying error or such. Virus scan your PC and replace the compiler.

either that or some virus hijacked a few win32 dll that the compiled program uses...

For this we need some information about the situation:
- Compiler,
- compiler version,
- compiler target?
- What does the source look like?
- What components or other libraries/techniques does the source use?
Does the application - do graphics? (dos lowlevel graphics could be a problem, and via the videodriver touch ring 0) - is it very low on memory and diskspace? Maybe gets out of memory and can't allocate diskspace?

This should have been a comment to the original question, since you didn't provide an answer, but asked for additional information.
