Salut Gary Weinfurther !
Dans un message de Gary Weinfurther dat‚ du 09 Feb 97  08:50:00 il ‚tait dit:
  GW> Delphi 2 strings are null-terminated. 
Not exactly. They are in fact a record with two fields. One is the 
length and the other is a pointer to the actual characters forming the 
string. Those characters are null-terminated. And the null byte 
does'nt count into the length.
When you cast a string to a PChar, the compiler just return the 
pointer field. Using the Length() operator returns the length field 
(or set the length field is case of setlength()).
