James,
not every body is using a GHz machine. I am , for example, programming a 80186
in an embedded system with very limited speed an RAM.
But I understand thats not a general argument.
But look at MISRA C. Its a big set of rules for "real" save C programming, more
or less now the stan
AFAIK these is the standard behavior since the first PASCAL versions.
We must not change it. It prevents a lot of side effects, and PASCAL is NOT C
without brackets!
Use while or repeat instead!

Maybe there's no technical reason it doesn't work... it's just set to not work
to make it compatible with other pascal programs?

D7 does not allow this for global variables: "for loop
Yes, today such limitations do seem too restrictive, I wonder if the reasons
for the restrictions have become obsolete. You would have to have a really
slow computer with very limited resources to optimize loops to the point of
reducing functionality like this, and the tendency with modern pc's

Hi James,
Yes in effect -- it jumps forward to the test at the end of a loop. Very
useful.

You can re-assign the loop variable if you are in {$Mode TP} it works perfectly
fine to re-assign the for variable inside the loop, and I use that extensively,

I don't understand what difference it makes if I assign I :=0 with the variable

of a variable is before you assign it to something.I
