Hey!!!! Are there any VAX Pascal programmers outthere????

I don't mind Turbo Pascal, but if those are the only people that
read/write to this group than that's too bad. There are VAX-Pascal
things, for example, that have good potential for discussion.

    1) Optimization.  Have you ever had a program work when compiled
    	/no-optimize but not otherwise.
    2) Programs.  I have some good Pascal programs for the VAX,
    	but I've never posted them because everybody seems to be
    	TP.
    3) Directives.  Does anyone know what all of the VAX compiler
    	directives really do?
    4) Resource sharing.  ANSI standard Pascal is aweful for 
    	sharing anything.  But VAX has a lot of power actually.
    	(This is what I do, by the way)

There are all sorts of things that can be discussed about other
implementations of Pascal.  So let me know if there is anybody
out there, before I unsubscibe (after 6 mos.) also.
