[Lazarus] Valladolid Programming Contest simple test fails at compile?

[Thierry Coq]

yes, it does read from standard input and output file. So there's no 
need to create textfiles. (It is possible to mention the input and 
output files in the program declaration such as : program test1(input, 
output).

Adding {$MODE OBJFPC}on Joshyfun's suggestion solved the compiler error.

Now I have an time exceeded issue, which doesn't seem too likely as I 
implemented a rather standard solution. I wonder if the "repeat until 
eof" or "while eof do" is not the issue...the program would be waiting 
endlessly for another input which isn't coming. Usually one checks the 
input file is empty by using eof. Is there another way recommended for 
these contests?

Thanks all of you for the help!
