Afaik before unicode. Delphi 3 (which introduced widestrings) was released August 5th, 1997. Unicode 3.0 that adds surrogate points was only released in 2000. Note that there was no other way anyway, since parsing characters for length would be horribly slow. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
