Pascal, as most people know, was created by good ol' NW as a teaching
language.  Since then it has been evolved by many, especially Borland
International, to a full fledged PROFESSIONAL development enviornment.

Just the size alone of its user base should help qualify TP as one of
the leading standards for Pascal.   Microsofts endorsement of TP
extensions to the Pascal language help further it as a standard.

I feel that it would help this conference if in the subject area 
people make reference to the version of Pascal they are using, so that
people can screen the messages.  But in order to do this we need to 
standardize the names of the various implementations.
