No, you very much miss the point, it is *program* portability
that is the issue. Many large programs exist as a complex set
of scripts, and any development environment which requires these
scripts to be completely rethought is crippled in my view.

Also, real environments require total trackability. It is fine
for people to point and click around, but the record of their
points and clicks must be integrated into the configuration
management system.

I don't begin to regard Think Pascal as a viable complete
solution for the development of large projects (millions of
lines with thousands of files) with strict configuration control
and management of multiple development branches.
