Um, no, that was just a passing remark about the industry relevance of 
Pascal. In fact, I was just writing down a mental note to myself that I 
shouldn't be too fussed about the robustness of read/readln because if 
I ever *did* use Pascal in production code it would likely be the 
Delphi dialect thereof, in which case I would probably not be getting 
my input from read/readln anyway. I suspect that ISO Pascal itself is 
probably little used within the industry.

Anyway, I'm actually using something called FreePascal, which can be 
found at <http://www.freepascal.org/>

I have no reason to doubt you, but it turns out to be a non sequitur.
