Hi, I'm converting a project from Sibyl (a old OS/2 IDE implement in SpeedSoft Pascal).
Below is the code I'm trying to convert to Free Pascal. I see FPC has a PString type, but not FreePString() or NewPString(). Searching the FPC source code, I found the FP Text IDE using PString all over. The FP Text IDE uses this... <some PString var> := NewStr(<string>); Do I need this when I use String = AnsiString in my projects? Or can I simply do the following assignment: _Title := @NevValue; --------------------------------- _Title: PString; ... procedure TTopic.SetTitle( const NewValue: string ); begin FreePString( _Title ); _Title:= NewPString( NewValue ); end; --------------------------------- Sorry if this sounds dumb, but I have never used PString before.
