Boy, does that bring back memories. Turbo Pascal was just plain wonderful software. As for Pascal, I never got over the array length being part of the array's type.

I remember you could define an array to be indexed by an enumerated type which was nice. I haven't seen that done elsewhere.

At least in Ada, Modula-2, Modula-3 it is also possible.

Isn't that crazy? You can't write a generic integer array sort routine!

Actually you could, by using GetMem() to allocate the amount of space you wanted.

In other words, 'Write in C' :)
