	Well, I'm a Pascal-programmer who does not use Turbo-Pascal. My 
favorite compiler are very close to standard so I have no use for all the talk
about Turbo. 
	On the other hand I wouldn't mind having the discussion in this 
newsgroup, but could you PLEASE be so kind as to inform the rest of us that
you're posting a Turbo-article by saying so in the subject line?
	It is annoying  when you have to read half an articles before you
find out that it isn't interesting.
