 		 #140764 - impossible - sorry
Responding to: ???'s previous message
What virtues should have a '51 Pascal implementation to make you at least THINK to move to it (assuming a massive campaign highlighting the advantages of the language itself)

Moving from C to Pascal would make all millions of lines of existing code useless or, at least, cumbersome to use.

When something familar comes up I grab the most similar code and modify rather than starting all over again. If a 'language conversion' was to be involved we would be waaaaaaaay behind schedule.

This is just like being married, you are stuck with the choice you made or you have to PAY.
