From my point of view nil is like the infinite in mathematics, so it is not range bounded and operations like nil+1 are impossible, or in the worst case equal to nil again. Once you assigned nil to a pointer the value becomes in range so it can be operated as usual. -- Best regards, JoshyFun _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
