procedure getchars( p : pchar );
var l : longint;
begin
l := length( p );
end;
If calling getchars with chars longer than 255 l is always 255.
For example:
getchars( '12345 ... 255256257258' +
'1234567213939873987' +
...
...
'1234567213939873987'); // more than 255 chars
Version 2-4-2.0
With other Versions before 2-4-2.0 it was ok (more chars than 255 possible).
It seems that this is a bug.
May be it is resolved already.
