	NO !!!
	
	I learnt my first prog lang PASCAL on DEC-10. There also the callee 
cleared the stack. KL-10 (like PDP-11) proc used a POPJ 17, instruction that
did precisely the same.

	Secondly, "msdos machines" is not the right word but "intel machines" is.
 Yes, in intel machines RETF nn does the same !! If you have programmed in
MS-WINDOWS you must be "pained" by declaring every callback as "FAR PASCAL".
This is partially because WINDOWS developers thought that PASCAL convention
would be better as it would translate easily to RETF nn. (IMHO)
