This is rather interesting as all my code currently features

1. That works 100% in LC 4.5
2. I thought that was "the way" in 4.5, so don't entirely understand
"the changes introduced around 5.5 are likely to cause you *more*
trouble than those introduced with 7.0".
If your code only ever sets 'the unicodeText of field' and not a field
chunk, then you should find you won't have to make many changes at all.
It was the behavior of character chunks of fields which changed in 5.5 -
setting the field's unicodeText property did not.
Indeed, you should find that 'numToChar()' with 'useUnicode == true' and
'the unicodeText of field ...' work exactly the same in 4.5, 5.5 and 7+
- modulo any bugs which have been fixed in unicode support since 4.5,
that is.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
