Maybe the person who started comparing TP to C forgot to mention a couple of important facts: 1. Pascal is a 1-pass compiler......of course it's faster than MOST/ANY(?) 2-pass compiler (like C) 2. Pascal, because it is 1-pass has limitations that C does not have. Any extensions to Pascal to improve the language have had to make "weird" syntax demands. I personally am more comfortable with Pascal than C but they both have plusses and minuses. I can see comparisons in regard to commands or memory management, but that is about it. -Sharon Snyder ssnyder@prism.poly.edu 1
