  Yes !!! Just forget about Metacomo Pascal, unless you like 
_really_minimalists_ pascal compilers ! (i.e. string ? what's that ? never 
heard of ! And don't ever dream about opening a window or do fancy things 
like that).

      KickPascal seems to be a good Pascal compiler (at least !! So many 
years of waiting!), but why don't you try Modula2 while you're there ? 
.... in fact I don't care anymore Metacomo Pascal was such a turn-off that 
I learned C !! (a long time ago).
