 I really don't mean to come across as the devil's advocate on this subject, 
 but it does dismay me to see so much of this notesfile devoted to Borland
 business.  I have by now used 3 or 4 Borland products extensively for the
 past 3 years and I really don't rate them as sufficiently mature to warrant
 a place in this notesfile. (I'm surprised anyone takes them seriously!)
   This is NOT the place to report bugs in Borland software, which are known
 to be legion anyway and ought to be directed to the source itself. It was
 my understanding that the "comp.lang. ..." notesfiles were dedicated to a
 discussion of problems inherent in the languages regardless of particular
 implementation (not to mention that Borland's is a most non-standard imple-
 mentation). Therefore, I would prefer seeing complaints about Borland con-
 fined to another notesfile, so we can get on with the real problems of the
 'language' Pascal (as indicated by the title of this notesfile).
   Again, sorry if I sound pedantic -- I DO sympathasize with the victims
  of Borland incompetence (of which I am definitely one who would very much
  appreciate a trip to Scott's Valley to straighten those morons out!) but
  this is just not the appropriate forum for such an exercise.
