    TP / TPMAC - PC / MACINTOSH PORTABILITY
    Q. How portable is the PC version of Turbo Pascal to the
       Macintosh?
    A. Any Portion of the program that is Standard Pascal will port
       over nicely.  However, the PC and the Macintosh are two
       completely different machines and any PC or Macintosh
       specific code will have to be rewritten.  PC programmers will
       generally want to rewrite the user interface so that is
       similar to what Macintosh users expect to see on a serious
       Macintosh application.

    Q. I get a runtime error message saying that the support unit
       is missing when I try to use a Readln or Writeln.
    A. Take out the {$U-} directive.  It causes the PasConsole and
       PasInOut units to not link in with the program and units.
