As someone that just stepped up from Pascal to C++, I find your musings
¨arrogant.  I found that Pascal was suited for serious development, and
with ¨intels being 80% of my particular market, cross-platform wasn't the
issue.

I don't believe OS/2 will be without a pascal compiler for very long
(TopSpeed ¨rumoured to have a 32-bit compiler on the way and Stony Brook
not far behind). ¨Whether or not they match the funtionality of Borland's
bastardization remains ¨to be seen.

And getting a C program to cross the platform is not nearly as pretty as
these ¨high and mighty C programmers would have you believe.
