I haven't tested, but if so, that's terrible. You need to use a dates library, usual simple date libraries like the fpc/delphi rtl are plain wrong for gregorian calendar prior 1582, so dates before (like the 100) mindate limit is meaningless. Just the october 5 1582 does not exists. Even in gregorian calendar if you live in Turkey the mindate value should be 1/1/1926. Dates and unicode suffers the same localization problems. -- Best regards, José _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
