Hello,

I've made the following example:

program test_variant;
uses variatns;
var
  my_var : Variant;
begin
  my_var := 'Hello World';
 writeln(my_var);
end.

The result is
Fatal: illegal character "'�'" ($E2)

Is it it a bug (fpc 2.2.2) or I'm doing something wrong here ?

Thanks,
Ido

The program compiles fine here after I change "variatns" into "variants". You probably inadvertently inserted some (invisible) high ascii character somewhere in your source.
