This is afaik not true, or ill formulated. The D2009+ unicodestring type is much like FPC 2.4's Unicode string or Kylix and older FPC's non COM Widestring (refcounted 2-byte type) , it is the ansistring type (1-byte type) that gets codepage support. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
