It even had it before Delphi before Florian killed it by making the reference counted win32 WideString a Delphi compatible OLE string. I unsuccessfully begged to preserve the referencecounted 16 bit string type on all platforms. Please forget the crap with "codepage aware ansistring", dynamic encoded string and what not... MSElang has "string8" (utf-8), "string16" (utf-16), "string32" (UCS-4) and "bytestring" which can hold any 8-bit encoding or binary data. Martin
