Easily confused with the rather older TrueBASIC. I'm afraid that my memories of BASIC start off with bearded postgrads hunched over KSR-33s at university. I'd be very reluctant to call something based on BASIC, COBOL or FORTRAN a viable alternative to Pascal. Don't judge a language by what's been grafted onto it, but by what's had to be chopped out to make it conform to current good practice. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
