However... I too know both C (and C++) and Pascal. (As well as a lot of other comp langauges.) I prefer C/C++ simply because it is used by the majority (on PC's and Unix boxes.) I also know RPG and COBOL. On mainframes I opt for COBOL. On AS/400's, RPG is my langauge of choice. On PC's and Unix boxes, I use C. (And I'm starting to use Java.) Except for undergraduate work, I have yet to find Pascal the langauge of choice of the majority on any platform. Viva la difference! But I'll (personally) take C over Pascal any day. (BTW, in case you can't tell - I'm a white American. If I were black I might have more empathy for the minority. I'm not, so I don't. :-) (BTW BTW - Jean-Sebastien your English is better than my French will ever be. Congratulations on your bi-lingualality (at least.))
