That's was a highly clever style of coding!
But not without its risk!

Five years ago, i was coding almost
daily in pascal, but when i learned that
to program interfaces in mac i had to digest 
these massive apple programming books, 
i turned to hypercard and never look back!

Now, i had to start with C code to have
a zlib compression dll for pdf writing.
