This still means that someone has to finish and test longstring
support in the compiler, and create this longstring Dos unit for all
platforms. That's more work than it may seem, and partly wasteful
since Dos is only a legacy compatibility unit.
In fact, not all the shortstrings would have to be changed to long
strings. Just some
path related ones.
As I've said already many times in this thread: of course only path-
related stuff has to be changed in the compiler.
