   Well, it's "object Pascal" now ... but still not
   all THAT hard to deal with. Nice clear readable
   code.

   ANYway, you have your gods, I have mine.
   All praise Lord Wirth !   :-)

   DO still have my old floppies with TP 1/2/3
   on them - including the CP/M versions which
   I've actually USED. TP was a major innovation,
   changed lots of things, lots of expectations.

   People forget that the original IBM-PCs came
   with both DOS and CP/M disks. You CAN run
   CP/M-86 in VirtualBox BTW. Up through the
   Quad-4 Intel processors you could BOOT the
   CP/M disk. Still have one box with a Quad
   processor and real floppy drive. Gonna
   keep it ! Gateways to the past as as important
   as gateways to the future.
