Back on the original subject, the spec for Borlands version of overloads are just awful. Virtually any difference in type between overload parameter lists is accepted as a valid overload. For example, two subranges of integer are accepted, which is clearly an ambiguous overload. Borland "resolves" this by calling the procedure or function with the smallest integer range. Thats a recipe for fairly incomprehensible behavior for the user.
