My main question is whether it will be necessary to delete all the *set
the useUnicode to true* lines.

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

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.
