Yes, I think so. But in this case because utf8 to utf16 doesn't require tables, it makes more sense it doesn't need some unicode library implementation. As soon as it starts interpreting/comparing/mutating characters, you need tables, and those can be better taken from the OS (or be at least optional for small files that only want to use sysutils to remove a file or so) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
