NEVER !!! I'll never give Pascal up. I just started with C and it sucks (not to offend anyone who like C, thou -- this is my opinion). I like Pascal because its nicely structured and make my programming easy and straight forward. String work the way they should. Unlike C. [Sample. In Pascal we declare a string with var abc:string[5]; we are able to do abc:="12345". In C, I have to do; char abc[6]. Notice the SIX and not five. If I declared it as 5 and placed 5 characters in it, it will ERASE my next variable with a NULL. And what more, in C, it does not warn you.] Turbo Pascal ... here for years ... and here to stay ... -- J. Chin (a.k.a.
