This is an example of why it is usually wise to use the AS operator
except in performance critical places. Using the parentheses notation is
an unsafe cast; type checking does not occur at the time of the cast.
This is especially dangerous because you run the risk of corrupting
memory by
Perhaps it would be sufficient to supply the time value from another
source converted to the units the other code is expecting to see.
Assuming the frequency for the BIOS timer is about 18.2 Hz:
function TimeCounter: LongInt;
begin
Result := LongInt(Round(GetTickCount * 18.2065 / 1000));
It actually uses record helpers, but the end result looks very much like
Java primitive types where you have type.ToString, type.Equals,
type.Split etc...
Not with the intent to be contrary, but for the sake of clarity in
discussion, String in Java is not a primitive type; it is a full-fledged

Maybe TInputPipeStream.NumBytesAvailable can help. You can find it in
the documentation of the Pipes unit.
