- I'd have to agree with Randy on this one. More importantly the ISO standard,
- ANSI standard, and Dr. Wirth would agree with Randy. 'or' is a boolean
- operator, not an integer operator. Please don't confuse Pascal with Turbo.
- Turbo is not Pascal, never has been, never will be. Not only that, but
- I don't think it will ever run on anything but 80x86 boxes running
- {DOS|Windogs|OS/2}. (If you stretch the imagination enough you might
- imagine it on OS/2.)
