FreePascal version uses short strings, truncating inputs

Open KarolS opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

By default, FreePascal defines String as a synonym for ShortString, which cannot be longer than 255 bytes. Since many inputs are >255 bytes, the inputs get truncated and the results are incorrect.
