Use large buffers very easy

This is an old solution how to allocate a large buffer. Rather use the alternative tip listed above. The code below works correct but it declares (now) twice the space. In a WideStr one element is two bytes. On the other hand the method is outdated, because there are now more typecast possibilities with the newer Delphi versions.

	// In this example you can use large buffers very easy var s0 : WideString; s : PChar; begin // Allocate 1 MB SetLength(s0, 1048576); s:=PChar(s0); end.
