I was reading the article , and I am not at all pleased with your saying that Pascal is not
a good programming language. Right now I am working on a huge Dungeon project with one
of my friends (creating the dungeon environment and also the program which customizes the
whole thing) , and we are using the Object Library from Turbo Pascal 6.0 (Borland) which
is more than perfect for what we are doing. I think that Pascal is still a very good 
programming language and I am sure that I can do the "low-level bit-twiddling" in 
Turbo Pascal as well.
