I made this OT as it isn't reaaly Pic'ish anymore.

:: As you can see the variables declared with 'const' are really
:: static (like
:: the 'static' directive in C)

:: const
::  globConst: Integer = 999;
::
::
:: procedure test ( par: Integer );
:: const
::  v1: Integer = 0;  { it's a static variable }

Surely that goes against what a const is, in that a constant is a 
contract between the coder and the compiler that that value will NEVER 
alter?

I'm off to rediscover my Pascal tutorial books, see what they say.
