  $Log$
  Revision 1.15  1998-07-18 22:54:32  florian
    * some ansi/wide/longstring support fixed:
       o parameter passing
       o returning as result from functions

  Revision 1.14  1998/06/12 14:50:50  peter
    * removed the tree dependency to types.pas
    * long_fil.pas support (not fully tested yet)

  Revision 1.13  1998/06/03 22:49:07  peter
    + wordbool,longbool
    * rename bis,von -> high,low
    * moved some systemunit loading/creating to psystem.pas

  Revision 1.12  1998/05/12 10:47:00  peter
    * moved printstatus to verb_def
    + V_Normal which is between V_Error and V_Warning and doesn't have a
      prefix like error: warning: and is included in V_Default
    * fixed some messages
    * first time parameter scan is only for -v and -T
    - removed old style messages

  Revision 1.11  1998/05/01 16:38:46  florian
    * handling of private and protected fixed
    + change_keywords_to_tp implemented to remove
      keywords which aren't supported by tp
    * break and continue are now symbols of the system unit
    + widestring, longstring and ansistring type released

  Revision 1.10  1998/04/29 10:34:08  pierre
    + added some code for ansistring (not complete nor working yet)
    * corrected operator overloading
    * corrected nasm output
    + started inline procedures
    + added starstarn : use ** for exponentiation (^ gave problems)
    + started UseTokenInfo cond to get accurate positions

  Revision 1.9  1998/04/21 10:16:49  peter
    * patches from strasbourg
    * objects is not used anymore in the fpc compiled version

  Revision 1.8  1998/04/12 22:39:44  florian
    * problem with read access to properties solved
    * correct handling of hidding methods via virtual (COM)
    * correct result type of constructor calls (COM), the resulttype
      depends now on the type of the class reference

  Revision 1.7  1998/04/10 21:36:56  florian
    + some stuff to support method pointers (procedure of object) added
      (declaration, parameter handling)

  Revision 1.6  1998/04/10 15:39:49  florian
    * more fixes to get classes.pas compiled

  Revision 1.5  1998/04/09 23:02:16  florian
    * small problems solved to get remake3 work

  Revision 1.4  1998/04/08 16:58:09  pierre
    * several bugfixes
      ADD ADC and AND are also sign extended
      nasm output OK (program still crashes at end
      and creates wrong assembler files !!)
      procsym types sym in tdef removed !!

  Revision 1.3  1998/04/08 11:34:22  peter
    * nasm works (linux only tested)
