We could try to make `class' conditionally reserved only in the outermost scope, but I don't know how hard this would be (Peter?),
But you probably shouldn't (for compatibility) if Delphi makes it reserved in places other than the outermost scope.
Well, it would be upwardly compatible to Delphi, i.e. what's legal in Delphi remains legal by this. So I think it would be ok from this point of view.
Have there been any changes in the packing of data in records or packed records between 19991030 and 20010306? Or any changes in the data transfer between variables and typed files (is that the correct name? I mean FILE OF Twhatever, where Twhatever is a TYPE defined in the source)?
I don't think so, but I'm not completely sure. Perhaps Peter knows better.
