- This is probably way out of line, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

- Personally, I get a little sick of always seeing these "go buy another
- compiler" posts when someone asks for help on a problem. It is pretty obvious
- to me from reading the original post that the poster HAS tp 6.0 and wants to
- use IT. He didn't ask for any help on choosing a compiler that WOULD do what
- he wanted, he wanted to know if tp 6.0 would do it.
-
- Telling people to go out and spend more money when they are (?)
- comfortable with something they already have is a pretty poor solution for any
- problem. Personally, I don't have the money to go out and buy some new
- compiler when tp 6.0 doesn't quite do what I want it to.
-
- Flame off. I just think these ads to go out and buy a new compiler are
- getting a little old. Besides, if Borland listens to customers the new version
- of Pascal they should be releasing will most likely do a compile to .OBJ. And
- upgrades are cheaper than new compilers.
