   Borland have already thought of that case; the following is a compilable   
   program :   
      
           const Hex : array [0..15] of char = '0123456789ABCDEF' ;   
           begin end.   
      
   To be convincing, you need convincing examples.

             especially when you need to suggest proficiency.
