Well, pascal has always been popular in the educational realm, it was 
designed to teach good programming habbits. Borland over the years has made 
pascal such a powerful language, that I am not surprised that they would be 
using delphi over there. I do have the flexibility and support from my boss 
to use Delphi for most of my projects, but anything that must go outside of 
my group or enterprise wise has to be C++ or VB. I guess that's where I write 
all the functions and procedures in a DLL and then use VB to create the 
interface, huh .
