Pascal it is certainly not forgotten by me. I started using it at University when I was on staff about 15 years ago (when 5.5 was new, I think). I have upgraded and still use it for a lot of work including a major accounting system. I think it could be said that a good programmer can write good programs that are well structured, well documented, fast, reliable and effective in ANY language. Maybe there is a lot of time wasted trying to determine which is the BEST language!! :) Long live Pascal!! Vive le Blaise!!
