I can't install FPC compiler on mac 10.7.3


First, install Xcode if you do not have it yet. If you installed Xcode  
4.3 or later, next open Xcode, go to Preferences -> Downloads and  
install the "Command line tools" package (the installer doesn't know  
about this limitation because Xcode 4.3 was released after FPC 2.6.0).  
Then you will be able to install FPC.

Estimated guess: the code is from a time where "String = AnsiString" 
wasn't possible.



That would be explanation.
But then it must be *very* old code which shows that a revise is overdue.
