Some amendements / words to defend Borland -sorry- Inprise
Pascal:
* The other Intel-FPU specific types are not implicitely converted
to extended (unless they are internally by FPU itself!),
so there might no be such conversions as with real <-> extended.
To that respect TP (6) doesn't seem to follow the rule
in their Reference Guide (TP 5) ...
* For the "32000+32000=-1536" bug, it's more an overflow
checking problem than a range check one. Since overflow
checking appears only in TP/BP 7 ($Q+) one shouldn't blame TP6...
NB: not tested the case on TP7...
