If your strings don't have an encoding the compiler treats them as default encoding and so the mode does not matter. Your friend's application won't pass such strings to the GUI, so no problem with the LCL. You just have to be careful when mixing strings and widestrings (just like Delphi), or strings with non default codepage (AFAIK Delphi 7 does not have them, but maybe you use a package that does). If your friend use string literals in Delphi they are encoded in system code page. Here might be some traps.
