TP6 had 255 byte strings and you couldn't implement your own WriteLn. It seemed like it was still breaking free from academic pascal.

- pjmlp 10y agoIn a world where the applications and OS had to fit under 640KB, I never had a problem with the string sizes. I don't see why anyone would like to implement its own WriteLn. You have the same issue with professional languages and I never saw anyone complaining about it. Also C needs Assembly for its IO library and everyone is ok with it.
