Also, have a care for ``internal I/O'' (stuff like F66 ENCODE, DECODE
or F77s array READ and WRITE statements).  One of the most annoying
things about Pascal is that it is impossible to write a version of
WRITE that doesn't actually go to a FILE or OUTPUT.  (Yes I know it
*can* be done, it's just extremely painful:  `wrint' `wrbool' ....)

(Give me sprintf, any day!)  (Oops, sorry, this isn't net.lang.c :-) )
