[fpc-devel] ptop

[Jan Ruzicka]

Hi
here comes next incremental patch:
- tokens now AnsiStrings
- the comments are now handled better, ptop now does a multi line 
comments.
- added debug prints to verbose option
	'line in-<number> out-<number> symbol "<name>" = "<value>"'
   the <value> is truncated in the middle. this means visible beginning 
and the end.

only outstanding issue are new lines in front of long comments.
The procedure PPSymbol is trying to fit the symbol on a line by 
inserting a new line.

This is working so it can be checked in.
