The type is called ansistring simply for backwards compatibility. You could start arguing that everything should be intuitive. Take C for example. What does the && operator tell you about what it does? Shouldn't it have a intuitive form? But in the end this is how the language is and this is a useless discussion.
I don't think that all C programmers will rewrite their code anymore then pascal programmers will rewrite theirs so that you can find a better name for ansistring. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
