Many thanks Jonas for all that information. It is very useful to know. Maybe the documentation for cwstrings should include a link to fpwidestring unit and vice-verse. I didn't know about the fpwidestring unit.
As for the thread manager being very OS-specific. Well FPC being a compiler that as very CPU and OS specific functionality well abstracted... such a thread manager should be just another abstraction layer. ;-) I'm not suggesting the FPC team implement it, just saying that on a high level it seems quite doable.
