Okay, I have heard of the Brian Kernighan's paper "Why Pascal Is Not My
Favorite Programming Language".  It seems like there was a BYTE magazine
article on this paper once a long time ago...  Now ISO standard Pascal
has basically *two* different standards...Level 0 Pascal and Level 1
Pascal.  Kernighan's criticism was aimed at Level 0 Pascal.  Level 1
Pascal was much more like Turbo Pascal, with more features that made
it a usable language.

Can anyone post the differences between Level 0 and Level 1 Pascal,
and what features that Turbo Pascal has above Level 1???
