I did hope the context made it clear I meant range as in Ordinal. > Also note that, contrarty to "true" real numbers, floats are a finite set. Of course. Also, Strings (as defined in Pascal currently) are also not infinite, due to length limitation. So, my argument was meant as some sort of philosophical perspective. I really don't care wether fpc implements it or not. In the manner used by OP I would never use it, since it makes the code more diffcult to understand (just because of the ranges and the way < and > act on strings). IMO Case should be used to make code more understandable.
