Salut Bryan Smith !
Dans un message de Bryan Smith dat‚ du 07 Apr 97  10:29:59 il ‚tait dit:
  BS> Can anybody explain the following ? (code has been simplified)
  BS> ...Delphi Version 1.0 (raw). Platform, W95.
  BS> var

  BS>     s   : string;
  BS> begin tch := 'A';
  BS>    { then use either } 
  BS>    s := tch ;

  BS>    { or ... }
  BS>    ShowMessage('Drive '+ tch + ':') ; { problems ! }
  BS> end;
  BS> The second causes a

The two versions are perfectly legals and work equally well here. The 
GPF you experience later using some pointer is probably resulting from 
a bug elsewhere in your program.
Or yo've got a buggy Delphi !?
Amiti‚s,
