I must agree with you. I hope it will be removed in (far) future when nobody uses the old Windows system codepages any more. Windows already supports Unicode in everything ... except for console output! Why is that? Anyway, please let's leave out encoding supremacy issues now. My point has been that our Unicode solution makes the encoding issues irrelevent. It is almost compatible at source level despite the different encodings. Think how improbable that is, yet it works. See also the encoding agnostic support provided by LazUnicode. Encoding does not matter any more, as long as it is Unicode.
