Hey Ozz!

 ON> (*) Clarity - "Turbo Pascal", not "Pascal".

To me it is a pot-eh-toe/pot-ah-toe issue as I never had any experience with
pascal.  I did look at the Free Pascal not too long ago at mark's prompting but
 that is as far as I ever went with it.  Seems to me it had something to do
with a certain BBS project.

 ON> Same problem C guys have when picking up some of the old code
 ON> "int" 16bit or 32bit?

Sorry but when I picked up C around 1989-ish an int was 32 bit and 16 bit ints
were called shorts.  I briefly used Borland C for DOS and if I am not mistaken
there was this issue but not for long as I switched to a 32 bit compiler for
DOS just to stay more or less in sync with Unix based systems.  DJGPP if I
recall correctly.  That was for about 3 or 4 years and then I started using
Linux on PC's which solved any compatibilty issues I had thanks to gcc.  The
only things I ended up porting from DOS was some f77 based code and I will
NEVER do that again.  That was about 1996-ish and any C based code I had on DOS
 got completely abandoned.  Linux had removed the need for me to write C code
to make DOS more Unixie.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Life is good,
Maurice
