Hi,
thanks for the fast answer!

So this means the main difference is, that without the "new" the compiler
will choose the Base-Type (for example a short-int) and in the second case I
explicitly decide which is the base-type. Is this correct?
Is there somewhere a summing-up in which contexts I can use the keyword
"new"?
I know some:
1.) For declaring a new type
2.) For deriving from tagged-types
3.) For using with pointers... that means for creating a pointer-object.
4.) In the context of the instantiation of generics
Are there more?
Bye,
Rick
