If I remember well, PChar and even String is different between these modes, right? The compiler will convert strings between them or this is not a problem? Even using LCL? _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
