Could you expand this answer to cover the reasons why people might use Pascal rather than assembly language? Your argument seems to advocate using the lowest level language available... I'm a big fan of compact code and language features that promote it. Give me "StringList.SaveToFile()" any day over the laborious code that starts "var F:TextFile;" Moz _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
