Hmmm. I suppose with Linux (using utf-8 for the GUI interface to the user programs), having the user program always use Widestring internally and convert any GUI input and output string will feature an enormous overhead. I feel that just handling the multi-encoding String-management record (with "encoding"6 and "character-size", which, in the case of GUI generated and "meant for GUI" Strings, always is equal), would not impose much overhead over using using the plain old String management with just "reference-counter" and "contents-pointer". -Michael _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
