Both Delphi and FPC now support 64-bit. I don't know how that relates to dynamic String encoding. > But the challenge is rather similar, and again there *might* be hope to > convert > a professional application and programmer team from Delphi to Lazarus. Sure there is hope. See the new UTF-8 support: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Better_Unicode_Support_in_Lazarus The only problem comes if you depend on Windows system codepage a lot. That's why there is : http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_with_FPC3.0_without_UTF-8_mode Note: Even there FPC 3.0 still has the dynamic string encoding but it is still useful.
