No, there is no reason why you want to use types like Pulong etc.
One reason to do that is to keep code portable between different
Pascal compilers.
in
Pascal. Use of standard types that every Pascal programmer
understands,
like Pcardinal, makes the code much more readable.
Indexing pointers as arrays is not exactly a typical Pascal way of
doing things either... And whether or not it's more readable mainly
depends on knowing the fact that FPC allows you to do that (and even
then it's sometimes confusing, although not in this particular case).
