Subject:    Passing functions as params in Turbo Pascal
Lines: 14

While ISO Standard Pascal (as defined by Jensen and Wirth) allows
passing functions as parameters to other functions or procedures,
Turbo Pascal 6.0 that I use at school, declares an error that an
identifier is expected, which means that I cannot pass functions
as parameters in the standard way.  For all you TP experts on the
net, is there a workaround? e.g. something like defining pointers
to functions as one might do in C?  Thanks in advance for any help
in this matter. I desperately need this feature, so that I don't
have to write a separate integration procedure for every function
I want to integrate.
