When it comes to compability on the issue of strings, would'nt it be natural to call the short string version just "string" and the long one "longstr", instead of the other way around?

I think natural should mean the one with the least restrictions. Integers are 32-bit, not 16-bit, strings are unlimited, instead of limited, etc, etc.

And this is more compatible with Delphi 2.
