	Prototyper 2.1 generates Pascal which took advantage of features
which were available in THINK Pascal 2.0 but were not available in
THINK Pascal 1.0. Since 3.0 is completely upward-compatible (with the exception
being a change in how arrays and records are packed) from 2.0, this should
not be a problem.
