Dear Aubrey,

>What are the machine code sizes to do the task in Delphi?

Delphi and C compilers, if we define constant array
DO NOT duplicate array data twice.
For example:

CONST a = "abcdefgh";

in Delphi this constant strig will be ONE in code,
and in data. (This is critical if arrays are large.)

BlackBox compiler saves array data one step:
in machine code, and two step - in memory, when code runned.
The uneffective use of memory. (It's not good for embedded
development.)

Rene A. Krywult proposes use:

InitString("00 00 00 61 00 00 00 00");

Too, I ask you all: where is efficiency, when we encode
the byte of data by a few bytes of code?
