In MSElang the base types in unit "systypes" are named
"int8", "int16", "int32", "int64",
"card8", "card16", "card32", "card64".
Floats are "flo32" and "flo64".
For strings MSElang has
"string8" (utf-8), "string16" (utf-16), "string32" (UCS4) and "string" (any 8 
bit encoding or binary data).
The variable size types (integer, cardinal, real) can be defined in "system".
