	There is no such thing as a GOOD Pascal compiler.  This is largely
because, while C compilers are designed to generate code, Pascal compilers
are designed to generate error messages.

	Because all the Real Programmers are on the Amiga, and Real
Programmers use C or assembly.  Strong typing is for people with weak
