   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!!
