   John, several have given you all you need to complete your task,   
   but you have rejected it - citing your expertise in other   
   languages and seemingly insisting on doing it your way - which is   
   too flawed to patch and needs a complete rewrite.  It's an utter   
   disaster even as pseudocode.  You clearly can't write coherent   
   pseudocode let alone Borland Pascal, and you are rejecting advice   
   far more complete than mine, so I'm done with you.  Others'   
   mileage may vary.
