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 :-)

My problem is I wanted a way to specify a static array size use generics, specifically so I could add methods to use on the array. It’s basically the same talk we’re having now but with static arrays, i.e. I want to add functions and build an API.

type
	generic TList<T,L> = record
		list: array[0..L-1];
		procedure Add (elem: T);
	end;
