[discussion of how to use Pascal for ADT deleted]

#Which all goes to show that Pascal was not designed with ADT's in mind.
#Languages such as Ada, Modula 2, Euclid ... have the necessary level
#of abstraction for supporting ADTs though it may not be sufficient.

	I agree, but any professor who decides to make *BEGINNING* level
	students write something like that, need his teaching license revoked
	and sent to the insane asilum.  Which shows to prove that Ada, at the
	beginning level, will cause more problems than it will solve.  I.E.
	STAY AWAY FROM ADA AS THE *BEGINNING LEVEL* LANGUAGE!!!!
