  Saved for future reference.  (-:

  I actually saved the source to file when you posted it, and took the
  address off the origin line of the saved messages.  But I don't like
  reposting large gobbets of source every time a FAQ comes around,
  especially since it isn't my source, and also especially since I seem to
  recall that you had a long discussion with Peter Fitzsimmons at the time
  and as a result made several improvements on the source that was
  originally posted.

  I'm glad to hear it.

  I'm happy to do C++ pros and cons lists, and answer compiler and API
  questions, but I've always tried to keep clear of getting into Pascal
  discussions (it's not a language that I use, whereas C++ is).  It's good
  to have other people who will shoulder the burden of helping Pascal
  programmers.  (-:

  About the most that I've done for Pascal questions is to take all of the
  information that people posted over the years and condense that into a
  list of the available Pascal compilers for OS/2, and where to find them
  ( I posted it here a while back, in response to a "what pascal?"
  question. ).

  But even that was done with much reluctance.  I had hoped that John
  Heater would do something along those lines, since he has actually
  *used* some of the compilers mentioned.  But he appears to have
  disappeared.
