I wrote a commercial product in Borland Turbo Pascal somewhere around 1988. We ended up re-writing it in C. Some combination of the greater availability of developers and/or an inability to do certain things* in Pascal that we could do in C. I don't recall exactly.

I learned it while working at a university (on a PDP-10), and used it quite a bit for those two years. Occasionally I've seen it mentioned in job postings, but not very much; I've been told it's bigger in Europe. How many of you have used it in your jobs, and how much? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
