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!!
