      From: nospam.Shaun.Buzza@f110.n229.z1.fidonet.org               BP> Just a quick question for you. I know that strings in MPL are 255        BP> characters, but is there a way to have a string that is longer?        BP>        BP> The reason I'm asking, is I wrote a function that will take a text        BP> string, and wrap the text to the users terminal size. The problem I'm        BP> running into, is with the larger screen sizes, 255 characters isn't much        BP> longer than the screen.        BP>        BP> Would it be possible to have something like an ansistring in MPL, or        BP> would that cause issues with the memory limits of MPL?              Isn't 255 the limit for string size in all versions of Pascal? Yeah, I know MPL       isn't exactly Passcal, but I would assume that it is constrained by the limits       of Pascal itself...              McDoob       SysOp, PiBBS       pibbs.sytes.net              ...
