Not if you call such an iterator several times at once (in nested loops

And the code runs in a single thread or concurrently?
Looks like it would be nigh on impossible to translate the code as it

It strikes me that whilst it may not be the best programming form, the

Heh, if you are reading this then you may know what Metaware is?
I've a large(!) body of code written over the years under the Metaware
Professional Pascal compiler. This code is to be translated to run on
the fpc compiler.
I wonder if anyone out there has attempted such an endeavor and migh
