I'll admit that I'm in a grumpy mood right now, but I'm tired of cross
postings between this group and the ms.windows.programmer group. I
think we, collectively, ought to agree on where this stuff gets
posted. Pascal or Windows programming. Please pick one and don't
shotgun this stuff out.
Most of the ms.windows.programmer readers are C and C++ programmers,
but there is Pascal knowledge there too. I just hate answering
someone's question only to find the same posting in another group.
Which one is the poster going to read? Am I wasting my time trying to
help someone, with no guarantee that he will even read the msg?
Please excuse the dogma, but I didn't get enough sleep last night and
this hit a nerve this morning.

Sleep does wonders :-) Comp.lang.c++ seems to have settled down to
where Borland/Turbo type questions are not asked there any more. They
are supposed to go to something like comp.os.msdos.programmer or
comp.windows.ms.programmer. It's a tougher call for this group
because there doesn't seem to be much pascal usage outside of the
Borland version(s) where much of the world doesn't use Borland/Turbo
C++. Any ideas?

p.s. Almost never is the time wasted. For every poster there are
100s of lurkers who may be having similiar problems.
