    * merged netbsd, fpu-overflow from fixes branch

  Revision 1.34  2001/09/07 07:46:17  jonas
    * allow typecasting from child object types to parent object types (with
      different sizes)

  Revision 1.33  2001/09/02 21:13:31  peter
    * check for size differences in typecasts when assigning

  Revision 1.32  2001/08/26 13:36:37  florian
    * some cg reorganisation
    * some PPC updates

  Revision 1.31  2001/08/23 14:28:35  jonas
    + tempcreate/ref/delete nodes (allows the use of temps in the
      resulttype and first pass)
    * made handling of read(ln)/write(ln) processor independent
    * moved processor independent handling for str and reset/rewrite-typed
      from firstpass to resulttype pass
    * changed names of helpers in text.inc to be generic for use as
      compilerprocs + added "iocheck" directive for most of them
    * reading of ordinals is done by procedures instead of functions
      because otherwise FPC_IOCHECK overwrote the result before it could
      be stored elsewhere (range checking still works)
    * compilerprocs can now be used in the system unit before they are
      implemented
    * added note to errore.msg that booleans can't be read using read/readln
