The point I was trying to make is that it is NOT going to become a 64-bit type in Delphi 64-bit (one day when it actually arrives). And neither is it a 64-bit type under current 64-bit FPC as far as I remember. It might have been a "generic" type in the 16/32 bit days, but it isn't any more in the 32/64 bit FPC/Delphi compilers. Anyway, this is what I remember from a discussion a few months back with Michael van Canneyt. He even pointed me to the newly updated docs for the FPC types mentioning the same thing - I still had older FPC documentation printed out which was wrong at the time (hence my confusion). -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
