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.
