      processors
    * adaption of ranges required the matching talgorithm used for selecting
      which overloaded procedure to call to be adapted. It should now always
      select the closest match for ordinal parameters.
    + inttostr(qword) in sysstr.inc/sysstrh.inc

      fixes were required to be able to add them)
    * is_in_limit() moved from ncal to types unit, should always be used
      instead of direct comparisons of low/high values of orddefs because
      qword is a special case
