[fpc-pascal] Byte array manipulation

[Andrew Brunner]

Hi there,

I have a ByteArray unit that's pretty extensive.

function toString(Var Item:TByteArray):string
var
  iLen:Integer;
begin
  iLen:=System.Length(Item);
  SetLength(Result,iLen);
  if iLen>0 then
    System.Move(Item[0],Result[1],iLen);
end;
