Hello, James! I found an error at GetMem / ReAllocMem: Your code:
getMem(tmpStrings, 100); {reAllocMem(tmpStrings, (I + 1));} reserves 100 or (I + 1) BYTES, but you need space for 100 or (I + 1) STRINGS, i. e. the code should be: getMem(tmpStrings, SizeOf(String) * 100); {reAllocMem(tmpStrings, SizeOf(String) * (I + 1));} Even then, I don't know if fpc behaves correctly converning deallocation when <String> defaults to <AnsiString>. Maybe somebody else can respond to this? Another note: Please replace tabulators by spaces when posting code. Hope this Helps. Anton Tichawa.
