    wvv> It's an ancient language. ;)   
      
     Yes, but all you need to do is to add # or + after it, and it's a completely   
   brand new and fantastic language, really! Or you can add a period/dot   
   somewhere in the middle, like Pas.Cal and you'll have tons of gurus swearing   
   by its greatfulness ... :-\   
      
    wvv> The only time I seriously used it was during my study, more than   
    wvv> 30 years ago. I forgot most of it's details, I probably couldn't   
    wvv> write a simple hello world program if they put a gun to my head.   
    wvv> ;)   
      
   Traditional Pascal *is* quite stale, but was used a lot to teach people   
   programming ...   
      
    wvv> But I did some simple changes to the errflags program recently,   
    wvv> which is written in pascal. Making changes to existing code is   
    wvv> much easier...   
      
   :)   
      
   Whatever gets the job done.
