ok... thanks for that... i was unaware that type "string" was an alias

element containing the string length) ;)
In newer Delphi versions (2009+) "string" is "UnicodeString", that's why
using "AnsiString" will reduce possible confusion of people, who use
Delphi and Lazarus concurrently.
string[n] is "ShortString", even in the new Delphi versions.
thanks for that... this is some of the basic changes that i have to try to
remember as i attempt to move from TP/BP 6/7... i can already see that many of
my own libs will need major overhauls since they operate at a lower level than
the basic included libs... heck, my most used lib does direct screen writes to
any screen format buffer but that's all out the window when it comes to GUI apps
stuffs :?
