Type
  TElement = LongInt ;     { Here use your own }

Const
  MaxElement = 65500 div Sizeof(TElement) ;

Type
  TElementArray = Array[1..MaxElement] of TElement ;
  PElementArray = ^TElementArray ;

Var
  i    : Word ;
  Elms : PElementArray ;

begin
  Write('How many of ''em do you feel like using ? :') ;
  ReadLn(i) ;
  if i>MaxElement then
  begin
    WriteLn('That''s more than I can hold, sorry...') ;
    Halt(1) ;
  end ;
  GetMem(Elms, i*Sizeof(TElement)) ;

  { Now, use Elms^[1] to Elms^[i] }

  FreeMem(Elms, i*Sizeof(TElement)) ;
end.

Please note that the previous allows you to keep range checking on, but that
does not garanty you any security : access to an element which's index is
greater than i would cause no RTE, but writing to it will quite mess up things
in memory...
