This stuff doesn't belong in comp.lang.pascal. It goes in comp.lang.c,
right(?). The fistfight over bill wolfe's complaints about C should
stay in comp.lang.c. If anyone wants to complain about Pascal, then
put it in here. 

BTW - fall through and the 'double duty' break keyword are
definitely examples of C flaws.  If you must, flame me, but in 
comp.lang.c, (OK?)

Later,
