PChar is a typed pointer, so you need to point it to the memory location 
of TmpBugStr using the "@" operator, like so:


const
   TempString : PChar = @TmpBugStr;

If I type Cast TmpBugStr as PChar, then the error gets weird:

Error: Incompatible types: got "SYSTEM.PChar" expected "SYSTEM.PChar"

Error: Incompatible types: got "Line" expected "PChar

Pointing to the last line. It happens through out the project, I am
compiling -Mdelphi
