- How highly amusing! The idea that Borland would bow to something like
- that? They had enough pressure put on them for an exponentiation
- operator in TP/BP7, but no. Second, Borland's Chief Language architect
- (what's his name now???) has pubically announced that (paraphrase) "Pascal
- will not be getting either multiple inheritance or operator overloading
- in either the near future or ever".
-
- Heheheheee.

- Mitch.

- Disclaimer: I'm a confirmed TP fanatic. I think what Borland has done
- with Pascal is fantastic. It's just that it's 4:00 am and I need an
- exponentiation operator......
