I personally think that the problem started when Borland released Delphi. They
really should have marketed it as a Pascal product - instead of a VB killer.


You're of course right in many ways, but having stated that Delphi probably
helped to kill Pascal (once Turbo Pascal become an unsupported product, many
Universities moved to C and C++), I would still love to see a 100% Delphi comapatible
compiler for multiple systems. My prefference ;) OO rules, pointers suck, and
the way Delphi tries to eliminate the ^ and @ makes me very happy. Horses for
courses anyway
