[fpc-pascal] resourcestring and const arrays

[Krzysztof]

Hi,

I had similar problem, I think that this is because consts are "filled" when
compiling and there is no way to change them at runtime. Try this trick with
pointers:

resourcestring
 SSunday = "Sunday";

const
 SWeek: array[0..0] of PString = (@SSunday);

begin
 WriteLn(SWeek[0]^);
end;

Regards
