>From Delphi 7 & Kylix 3 help: "For single-byte and multibyte strings, Length returns the number of bytes used by the string. For Unicode (WideString) strings, Length returns the number of bytes divided by two." FPC help does not specify what the value is that Length() returns - bytes or characters. So I default to the Delphi/Kylix help.
