I would imagine I am, as I cannot see a reason for operator overloading, and anyway, I still use Inc and Dec, as that is the reccomended Borland way, so I am unlikely to ever overload an operator.
One of the major points to using Object Pascal over C++ is readability, so altering the way an operator works would be (IMHO) a retrograde step.
C'mon - be fair, it would have been the same if the programmer had been a COBOL (e.g - don't flame) programmer or used any other language - the best tool for the job is the one you know best, or the one most of you know.
I would dispute what some members of your team are convinced of - I use Delphi because it is a hell of a site easier to debug than C (or C++) and just as powerful IMHO.
I would say that your management have made a good descision based on their current skillset and hope that they would reconsider, if they found themselves with a different skillset.
I _KNOW_ Delphi 5 does - I've used it.
Not to mention that with a little pointer work - all you C programmers should approve - It can even be done in D1!

With a HSP modem - I certainly wouldn't - unless of course the modem comes with open source linux drivers.
Go on, tell me it does then.
We've been waiting ages - and still no official release date AFAIK - somebody spill the beans and let us know when to expect it in the shops.
