Use good Pascal compiler. GNU Pascal sets are limited by integer size.
On 32-bit machines you are still limited to 256 MB (while packed bit array
is able to use 64-bit indices and fill whole 4GB), but on 64-bit machines
the other limits strike first. Even on 32-bit machines I would not
call it "small range".
