Description:
Q. How can I change the type of a variable to another type?
A. The method is called type casting.  Here is the syntax:

          Type
            RecType = Record
              W : Word;
            End;

          Var
            A : Array[1..2] of Byte;
            R : RecType;
          Begin
            ...
            R := RecType( A ); { Convert the array into a record type }
            ...
          End.
