An earlier version was flawed in that recursion was not properly implemented: a procedure that called itself using pass-by- reference (i.e. passing the parameters using var: name ) did not work properly, and it was even mentioned in the manual briefly under "differences between standard Pascal and Turbo Pascal". If anyone knows if this problem has been solved in the new version, could you please respond on net.lang.pascal? Patrick Strauss

It is just as great as you have heard, but they havent fixed the recursion bug. From the sound of the manual, it looks like they have no intention of fixing it, either. Rick Thomas ihnp4!attunix!rbt
