There's nothing at all wrong with nested functions.

It's C that's deficient here, not the use of nested functions.

I have no idea at all why you insist on rewriting perfectly usable
Pascal code into C. Were there limitations in Pascal that drove you to
twist your program into knots? You do seem to be twisting your program
into knots to do it in C. Is there something inherently wrong with
using Lazarus Pascal?
