    I have noticed several people mention that the external statement has been
removed from Turbo Pascal 4.0.  The project I worked on last summer (Statpad)
used Turbo Pascal 3.1 and an external graphics library by Metagraphics.  Their
graphics used a memory resident graphics driver and set of include files that
declared all their routines as external.  Does anybody know if they will be
any easy work around to get past this problem or should I start talking to
Metagraphics people about an upgrade.


Thanks in advance
