This patch adds a
pascalstring type to FlexCat. This will encode\n,\tand similar formatting characters as#<code>, for example\nwill be#10as the output. This allows for example multi line strings to work in Pascal applications without further runtime formatting and post-processing.Also added a Free Pascal unit descriptor, based on the existing HS Pascal descriptor, and the work of Marcus "@alb42" Sackrow, with additional changes by me.
Please note that this is probably also the correct approach for the HS Pascal descriptor, and not using
Estrings, but due to the lack of a copy of HS Pascal, I couldn't test this.
