Exactly.
Why?

Now I changed all string vars (aprox. 1250) to shortstring and the string[..] 
vars remain the same as before.

So now I can remove the swith -Sh- from additional compiler arguments/flags.
And now it is possible again (like in the compiler versions before) to put 
more than 255 chars incombination with a pchar.
