put it into an old borland object (on the stack) but that may not be what
you are looking for. Then you can give the array methods, effectively,
possibly reinventing TStringList ;-) and that array can be fixed, dynamic,
whatever. But as for generics, no, old borland style objects are not going
to be generic - so this email of mine is likely completely and utterly
irrelavent to your problem  domain :-)

Generic TP-style objects are supported in FPC, but you can use advanced
records (which allow methods as well as management operators) as well.
