According to Orlando Llanes:

Oh :} Sorry :} I briefly glanced at it, and what I saw was, for example:

TYPE ShortInt = __byte__ Integer; Byte = __unsigned__ ShortInt; VAR AVar : Integer; ASmallVar : Byte; BEGIN ASmallVar := BytePtr(AVar)^; END.

Something like that...

Your program compiles well, if you add `Type BytePtr = ^Byte'. (But it crashes at run-time because you are accessing an uninitialized pointer variable.)

What I meant was type casting using custom types, not with built-in or pre-defined types. If it already does this, sorry again :}

It already does. ;-)
