Well, sometimes it's tempting. The only thing that I do violate for some programs is getting the date and time. That's not standard, so I put them into modules that can be replaced automatically (my 'module' program does 'insertions' at the text level). > In addition you might be the biggest ISO user > of FPC yet :) (which will hopefully help to find more bugs in that mode > ;) ) Well, assuming that it gets off the ground and I can compile my programs ... > Out of interest: are you interested in any Extended Pascal features? I've been programming in Pascal for more than 30 years. The code has survived numerous computer and operating system switches because I didn't rely on computer- or compiler-specific features. So I'm not at all inclined to trap the programs. These features would have to be available in all Pascal compilers ... but the p2c translator is unlikely to support them and the original author is not responding. So it looks like p2c depends on me for now ... and it's dead Jim (on a Mac). Tom Thomas D.
