   (*) Clarity - "Turbo Pascal", not "Pascal". Turbo Pascal 6.0->7.0.1 treated   
   "Integer" as 16bit unsigned, however, BP7 & 8, TPW, Delphi, FPC and Modern   
   Pascal, all define "Integer" as 32bit. Same problem C guys have when picking   
   up some of the old code "int" 16bit or 32bit? And lastly, Turbo Pascal had   
   "shortint" as signed 8bit - I always add the type smallint in my old projects   
   - and s/Integer/SmallInt/gi as soon as I open old code.
