I stopped coding a big project in Pascal, and didn't move to Delphi, to
avoid all that. I wanted to write and run a *program* , not a memory
management unit. And i wanted fully dynamic arrays,, oops, sequences,
sorta... actually, i did make those, but there was still a large wish list
with pascal. <whine mode on > And i'd still like to have a Eu function like:
"DDE TargetName DataFieldType Where/Data". Or "Socket TargetName Write/Read
Data/Where".

Has anyone tried to use those "extra" 3 bytes for anything? Will Eu keep
them as you set them, or change them in some way? I suspect a gui would make
good use of them, for formating the character. What happens to those 3 bytes
if they get swapped the the hd and back into ram?
