I'm always hesitant to use Pascal's New in case it does weird things like many Pascals do to support Mark/Release/etc. It appears that GPC calls straight through to malloc/free, with little overhead and no messing around unless Mark/Release procedures are called.
Yes. (And quite frankly, Pascal without `New' would be quite a crippled language. For Mac Objects, besides many other things, you need `New' anyway, don't you?)
