Last year I chose Pascal for a college programming project. I like Pascal a lot, and hope to work with it some more once I can make some time to work out how to combine Pascal with things like CGI and perhaps some external libraries.

CGI is nothing more than stdin and stdout... basically plain old text mode with
no colors and nothing visible to any screen...

using external libraries?? do you mean using external dlls located in dllhell??
that would be a different pascal than what i've worked with... possibly delphi or kylix??

I was writing pascal years ago, and im working on a project now that requires a door library for pascal, so im having to write the code in pascal.. Although i guess i could just port it over to vb or vc++ or something like that, but whats the fun in that?? :)

Hello Mark,

For CGI to work I will also need to be able to read two environment variables and then I'll need to write a simple handler for the way that certain characters are encoded in CGI requests.

I think DLLs are an MS Windows thing. I meant using platform
-independent libraries such as curses and perhaps a graphics
/GUI toolkit.

ahhh... i wasn't sure which platform of shared libraries you were thinking of... there are several to choose from, ya know ;)

Nope (hides his Borland, Virtual and Free Pascal compilers).

Borland and Virtual can both use external DLLs... but I've never need for them myself.

I'm reworking the TGWAVE (Telegard-specific version of BlueWave)'s source to work under OS/2 again using VP. It's gonna be hell doing it, but a learning experience. I'm teaching myself VB for a job I'm interested in, but my heart's
definitely in text-mode Pascal stuff. :)

Hey, well if you need any help with VB let me know. I may be able to help you out with that. I have written alot of code in VB over the last couple of years.

Just let me know. Drop me a Netmail or something if you need anything.

I've worked on all pascals from v3 TP to BP7 and

how big of a language is it? BP7 level or delphi level?

Enviro variables are readable by pascal and easy to
access. You can even fake the CGI requests with
some imagination.

dlls located in dllhell?

I think DLLs are an MS Windows thing. I meant using platform
-independent libraries such as curses and perhaps a graphics
/GUI toolkit.

Delphi does DLLs fine and even to some privitive level
Turbovision of pascal did as well. Back in the old days.

Its a evil construct created by M$. :)

Naw. They help share data and libraries and are useful for
huge software like windows and office. But for the small
disk size programs useless.

i forgot to mention that DLL is just an extension on a filename, too... in the *nix world, they are .so files... Shared Object... they perform the function, though...

Yeah. I've heard of it and seen code. Easy to figure
out. But just never used it more than 5 minutes.

Ueay..sadly back in 3.1 days we saw it coming with the
DLL files. I had a bad shiver it would grow and now
look at the windows world. Sigh. If only we knew
then we could've maybe killed gates off? :)
