It works here, even if ansistrings are the default ({$h+} or Delphi  
mode activated). The only thing that (logically) doesn't work here is  
"a:ansistring[1]".

Note that 2.02 has a bug whereby reading such length-limited strings  
can cause a buffer overflow (which has been fixed in the mean time).
