SynZip.pas won't compile under 64bit (Delphi XE4)

SynZip.pas used to be compile-able under Delphi XE4 (platform = win64), but it's not now.
I'm using the latest mORMot.

Compilation error:
[dcc64 Error] SynZip.pas(896): E2032 For loop control variable must have ordinal type

The screenshot of Delphi IDE shown the error:

You are right.

This is a weird Delphi bug/limitation I can't see any reason for.
An Int64 is an ordinal type for sure.

Thanks, it works now.
Sometimes we have to bear with the Delphi compiler bugs/limitations, unfortunately...
