   Language elements that make programming easier
   for people used to Pascal language


   1. a) Pascal for Instruction

         Syntax :

         for var:=expr1 to expr2 do instr;

      b) Extended Pascal for Instruction

         Syntax :

         for var:=expr1 to expr2 step expr3 do instr;

      Note : works with floating-point variables


   2. Begin/End

      You can use begin/end instead of {/}, because in the language
      definition 'begin' and { are defined as beginblock and 'end' and } as
      endblock.

   3. := <>

      You can use := instead of = and <> instead of != (but in conditional
      expressions you must use == ).

   4. Pascal <link=case=case> Instruction

   5. Comments

      You can define comments as you wish in the language definition file.

   6. Pascal <link=with=with> instruction

  7) functions with no parameters and no results can be called like pascal
      procedures

      Eg.   myfunc()
            {
               //do some stuff
            }

            main()
            {
              //...
              myfunc;  //call myfunc function
              //...
            }
