#### 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

#### Example

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