As said it can be fixed. Maybe even easier than I thought. > Compatibility was always the bigger goal for lazarus. IMHO a TLCLStrings > breaks more than it would solve. A lot will change. Even with Delphi not everything automatically is unicode, and they only have one platform to regard. I usually am sb who is pretty serious about Delphi compatibility, except for some of the more bizar post D7 experiments. This however is different. While I really like Tiburon as Delphi user, I loathe it as FPC user. It will never be totally transparent, whatever you do. Just like something things never were transparent when porting to Linux. We are a multi OS compiler, not a version of Wine oriented towards Pascal development. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
