I learned Pascal in 1984 (Montana State used it then, now they use Ada for 2 years and C++ thereafter (ick)). I've only rarely seen Pascal written any other way. The three books on my shelf that have Pascal code in them have namesLikeThis, and I know Delphi's Object Pascal has always been written in that style. Larry
