So I must add some glue to the outside of the system for those few cases. When you start tying code together with different encodings this is always the case. But at least you can do this, contrary to your proposal, where I must do all my communication with an UTF-8 system with heaps of slow manual conversions, or even worse, manually using pchars. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
