Precedent for use of =

[Eric_S._Fanwick.STHQ at Xerox.COM]

The best way to some up the difference between C and Pascal, (I
personnally see strengths and weeknesses in both) is that

    C assumes the programmer knows what he is doing and lets him do it.
Pascal assumes the programmer does not know what he is doing and
prevents him.

Given this basic difference makes Pascal a better teaching language
