Thus there is no String-length Range checking in Delphi 2.

Jamie once said:

i am using D3 and D7.

So if he tested in Delphi 3 (and not Delphi 7) its quite possible that
he got the results he reported.

It appears from this that Borland introduced String-length Range
checking in Delphi 4. This is quite reasonable as it protects against
access violations and I would prefer to see a Range-check error than
an AV.

Note that I get similar results to those of J French, Rob and Maarten
when I use Delphi 4.

Many thanks Henry
- it sounds as if that is the answer
