LOL. I'm an excellent C programmer (in my opinion anyway.) But that's no reason for me to not use Pascal in situations where it is appropriate to do so. > > "good" programs with pascal, then I assume that there is a problem > > with me.

If the program is finished in a timely manner, then the tools used to make it were the "right" tools.

One of my C programs doesn't work either. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
