   Hey Ozz!   
      
    ON> (*) Clarity - "Turbo Pascal", not "Pascal".   
      
   To me it is a pot-eh-toe/pot-ah-toe issue as I never had any experience with   
   pascal.  I did look at the Free Pascal not too long ago at mark's prompting   
   but that is as far as I ever went with it.  Seems to me it had something to do   
   with a certain BBS project.

   Sorry but when I picked up C around 1989-ish an int was 32 bit and 16 bit ints   
   were called shorts.  I briefly used Borland C for DOS and if I am not mistaken   
   there was this issue but not for long as I switched to a 32 bit compiler for   
   DOS just to stay more or less in sync with Unix based systems.  DJGPP if I   
   recall correctly.  That was for about 3 or 4 years and then I started using   
   Linux on PC's which solved any compatibilty issues I had thanks to gcc.  The   
   only things I ended up porting from DOS was some f77 based code and I will   
   NEVER do that again.  That was about 1996-ish and any C based code I had on   
   DOS got completely abandoned.  Linux had removed the need for me to write C   
   code to make DOS more Unixie.   
      
   That's my story and I'm sticking to it.   
      
   Life is good,
