A ansistring used in the way proposed by FPC is extremely inconvenient for any GUI application which will be run in different parts of the globe. You develop a application in a russian machine, sends it to a english machine and it shows rubbish instead of text. Even if you actually could read that russian GUI. It introduces dependency of what will be shown at runtime with the operating system you are running it. It's exactly the mess Unicode was invented to end with. People worked for years with ansistring suffering from it's short comings. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
