Yes, but the problems are mostly because of the scoping complexity that OO extensions like classes add. Specially because it is almost custom to use a lot of the same named properties in classes. Something that Wirth couldn't (and didn't have to) forsee. In the past I had the same opinion about with (WITHs evilness is exaggerated) as many others, but once I bumped my head a few times while using OO frameworks that were either not of my design or very large, I basically stopped using it. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
