I occasionally still use TP 3.01a, and work full-time with Virtual Pascal, 
FreePascal cannot handle one TP originated construction, that I use all the 
time, and frankly, the last time I looked at the IDE and Debugger, they sucked, 
big time! Next to that, the generated code is of TP/BP/VP quality, pretty 
shitty, so I prefer hacking the VP generated assembler code, and the fact that I 
have to resort to that relic of TP 1/2/3, coding Pentium+ instructions using 
db's doesn't really bother me in the least.

You'd have to to to news.groups.proposals, but don't hold year breath!

comp.lang.asm.x86 was made a moderated group, and is now, thanks to a single 
now-deceased moderator, dead, and attempts to revive it have so far failed 
miserably, and it's apparently not possible to remove the 
this-is-a-moderated-group flag...
