(Climbing on my soapbox for a moment.)

I'd have to agree with Randy on this one.  More importantly the ISO standard, 
ANSI standard, and Dr. Wirth would agree with Randy.  'or' is a boolean
operator, not an integer operator.  Please don't confuse Pascal with Turbo.
Turbo is not Pascal, never has been, never will be.  Not only that, but
I don't think it will ever run on anything but 80x86 boxes running 
{DOS|Windogs|OS/2}.  (If you stretch the imagination enough you might
imagine it on OS/2.)

(Now stepping from my soapbox.)
