Sometimes you just have to get *controversial.* [grin]

Which also means that a lot more folk listen in than speak out.

Yea, they seem strange to many. But then I haven't 'gotten along'
with PBs pointers. But that's because I haven't sat down and used
them. I suspect that pointers aren't that hard to get along with in
either camp. You just have to jump in.

Forget Pascal, it looks like it's on the way out. C++ can do anything
Pascal can do, and PB does have that POPKEY feature. [grin]
Yes, as I have said, I'll keep PB around because it's still easier
to write on-the-fly utilities and TSRs with it. That may change as my
use with C++ increases.
