Compilation errors in Turbo Delphi

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Adding the served rawflick.pas to your uses clause and trying to compile
gives these errors:

* In unit DateTimeExt.pas:
  - Can't find function VarToDateTime
* In unit StringsExt.pas:
  -  Unrecognized symbols: SLinstIndexError,  SAssignError

This same errors happen, probably, in other versions of Delphi newer than
Delphi 5.

Both errors arise from changes of symbols placement in the Borland libraries.
* The first one can be corrected by adding the unit Variants to the uses clause 
of
DateTimeExt.pas; however, that would break compatibility with Delphi 5 unless 
made
inside an {$IFNDEF VER130}.

* The second one is still under investigation, but in the meantime you can 
simply add
the constansts:

const
  SListIndexError = 'List index out of bounds (%d)';
  SAssignError = 'Cannot assign a %s to a %s';

to the implemantion section of the unit StringsExt.pas.

Changed the meaning of the tag "Compatibility", so it no longer applies to this 
issue. The correct tag for this type of problem is  "Compatibility-X".

• Added labels: Compatibility-X
• Removed labels: Compatibility

I won't work in this issue until after release 1.3 is up. This means that that 
release will show the same drawbacks but since there's a workaround, I feel 
that 
incorporating the changes and additions Flickr has made has a higher priority.
