Category   :Pascal
Platform    :All
Product    :Turbo Pascal  4.0+

Description:
Q. Is there anything similar to C's static variables in 4.0+?
A. You can declare private global variables in the implementation
   part of a unit. Such variables are only visible within that
   unit. Like other global variables, they retain their values across
   calls. Typed constant declarations declared within a procedure
   or function also behave exactly like C's static variables.
   They are local in scope but since they are allocated in the
   data segment, they retain their values from call to call.
