Is there a directive or mode that will allow a procedure variable to be

of a procedure passed as parameter while leaving it tolerant of other types?
No you cannot.
Shucks :-)
Did you try using Delphi mode ? The compiler uses other rules then.
Already am using (*$MODE DELPHI *)
After sleeping on the problem I've set up AddressOf as a macro with the
value @ which certainly compiles- I'm not at the stage of running the
program's own integrity tests yet.

I'm still a little uncertain whether macro definition uses := or = What
I have found though is that using (* *) doesn't work- the definition has
to be in {} However on the machine in question I'm still on version
2.2.0 of the compiler for various reasons.
