 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.
