Judison,

which platform? In win32 API I would suggest:

VOID CopyMemory (PVOID Destination, CONST VOID * Source,DWORD Length);

which is (or should be) defined in 'windosw.pas' and has a Pascal form:

procedure CopyMemory(Destination: Pointer; Source: Pointer; Length: DWORD);

You could also try:

procedure Move( const Source; var Dest; count : Integer );

which is part of Delphi's RTL (it's in system.pas) so I would hope that FPC 
implements it and that most platforms have it.
