Excuse my apparant arrogance, but there is an existing infrastructure of people
out there who know about a little thing called WriteLn and ReadLn. Millions of
us. And if it ain't in Component Pascal, then we ain't using Component Pascal.

Do I have to write the stdio routines myself? I've done it before using winapi
calls in freepascal for kicks and giggles. So I can do it for component pascal.
But why should I have to? Put yourself in the developer's shoes of year 2007.

I don't mean error log window.. I mean stdout. Yes, I know stdout isn't good and
an error log window in blackbox is superior to stdout because of the environment
and all that stuff. But.... just think for a minute. If there is no standard
out, no one will take blackbox seriously, ever. We've all been brainwashed into
thinking that console programs must run on std out, not in some log window in
blackbox. Even if blackbox log windows are superior .. that doesn't mean
brainwashed people are going to actually realize the power of blackbox right
away - first they need stuff like standard out.. the wrong stuff. Standard
Pascal also needed some stuff too, history repeats itself?
