I am about to share a bit of knowledge that will hopefully be of use to some out there. I wanted to know the correct syntax for defining a two or multi-dimensional constant array in pascal (including Delphi), but everywhere I looked, no help. There were plenty of websites acting all teacherly, or scholarly, or tutorialish, but none would tell me. They told all about how to define a variable 2-dimensional array, or perhaps a constant one-dimensional array.

So even though a lot of computer science departments had wrong or incomplete info, here's what I found:

const
  SomeArray: array[0..1,1..3] of integer = 
  (
    (4,5,6)
    (7,8,9)
  );

As promised (hm, I guess I didn't promise--it was just a hint), I have a few tractor pictures. Notice the belly-mounted grader. My dad and I designed and built it over the last couple weeks. What a great welding project. It even provided a couple of forging oportunites. One of these days, I'd like to post pictures and a description of my forge. It's modeled after one someone else documented on the net. I'll have to see if I can find it again. At any rate, here are the pictures.

The grader project is progressing. I modified to mounting brackets to increase clearance and resized another one of two brackets. When the second bracket is finished, I'm hoping it'll be ready for another spin down the driveway.

That was kind of vague I realize, but I don't want to go into an extensive explaination of how everything goes together. Maybe when (if) I post pictures there'll be some of that.
