that's what i've been doing... converting some of my fancy tricks back to
pascal which i likely borrowed them from to start with... but as i work through
everything, i find that many of them have already been made and exist in the
libraries... even some of my nastiest clock/time/date code is already available
from the libraries and i don't even need to use my wheel any more... that also
save me from having to maintain it and try to figure out my own bugs... other's
have already done that...
