[fpc-pascal] Array of Char

[Carsten Bager]

We are moving from another Pascal compiler where this is 
allowed.
----------------------
Type
  txt_typ=packed array[0..1] of char;

Const
  txt1:txt_typ=('12');
--------------------------

Is there a way around this without having to write
--------
  txt1:txt_typ=('1','2');
--------


Another thing, with the old compiler we can write

Type
  A_typ=array[0..3] of integer;
Var
 A1,A2:A_typ;

Begin
  If A1=A2 then
End;

I have never could understand when this is allowed
A1:=A2;

Why this is not allowed
If A1=A2 then

in most Pascal compilers. 

Regards Carsten
