This appears to be my first newsgroup posting in 1993, after using Turbo Pascal for 6 years, since 1987.
My subsequent messages weren't there, but these postings indicated I was using TVGraph for another 2 years at least.
I was the sysop of 6:600/608 at that time, a node of Fidonet.
A method pointer is now the same as a global procedure, ie, procedure of object = procedure.
