[fpc-devel] ptop

[Jan Ruzicka]

OK here is the first patch.
- keywords 'virtual' and 'uses' were added.
- '{}' and '(**)' comment types were separated.


I am fighting with AnsiString now for the rest of changes.
Attempt to change the Token type to AnsiString ended up in unusable 
code.
The sym value did not get cleaned and caused repeating of comments over 
and over again.
It also seemed that there was some endless loop.
