Hello,

 ml> yeah, not many worthwhile newbie pascal programmers any more ;-(

 SA> Yeah I remember the day when we had tons of newbies in the echo.

I might qualify.  I did a little Pascal at college, skipped Modula-2 but look
at Oberon every now and again.  From what I've seen, I like Wirth's work:
Pascal seems quite readable and I like 'common-sense' touches like defining
procedures before they're called by the main program, enabling a single-pass
compiler.  I would like to use Pascal to write some open-source software, but
I've found that trying to make open-source Pascal compilers work tends to be
like banging my head against a wall: painful and unproductive.
