Does that mean that 

var s:string;   is definig an ansistring in delphi mode?

In the previous version this works, is it now changing generally to

How can I assign "normal" pascalstrings?
Is there a description about the behaviour of strings and ansistrings in the 
various modes?

Kind regards,
Rainer
