#### Synopsis

         type

#### Description

`AnsiChar` is an 8 bit char type. Currently, it is the same as `Char`, but this might change in the future, once `wide chars` (16 bit chars) will be introduced into GPC. Depending on the platform, `Char` might be either `AnsiChar` or `WideChar` then.

#### Conforming to

`AnsiChar` is a Borland Delphi extension.

#### Example

         program AnsiCharDemo;
         var
           A: AnsiChar;  { There is nothing special with `AnsiChar'. }
           B: Char;
         begin
           A := 'A';
           A := B
         end.
