Do you mean really seperated sources or a comiler switch? What's the problem to use the "new" RTL with Ansistring? I can't see a problem, if it doesn't use direct string access... ... of course you have to compile it accordingly.. >so you can choose which string type you need per unit Can a project wide choice override this for *any* unit (3rd party) or will there be conversion going on between the different units? d.l.i.w _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
