Personally I reckon that BASIC syntax is far stronger than that of
Pascal or the later offering from K&R - curiously called 'C'

I have a total loathing of 'C', probably because I read K&R's White
Book just after I had understood ASM, which was 10 years after I had
discovered that programming was rather useful.

Anyway - I rather like your disssertations
- especially when they turn 'boorish' (your phrase)

I just wish that Borland would produce a variation that was BASIC
- with in-line 'anything'
