- Despite its ideocyncracies when run under different operating
- environments, the basic PASCAL language is the same. If anyone has
- questions regarding "Pure Pascal," I'm sure any one of us could answer or
- would be interested in discussing it. This IS the general Pascal board,
- however, there is no "Standard Pascal." Every compiler is slightly
- different. However, they have enough in common with each other to be
- understood by most any Pascal programmer, being the high-level language
- that it is. I use TP3.0 and UCSD Pascal, myself, these languages being
- "obselete" from TP6 or VMS Pascal. However, these languages are the
- closest to a pure Pascal as you can find. If you'd like to discuss "Pure
- Pascal" here, feel free to do so. I and I'm sure many other people will
- be out here with hand cupped behind the ear, ready to listen. Give me a
- buzz.
