I didn't know that backward compatibility to ansi was important. I previously thought that a fully Delphi-style solution would be persued (only UTF-16). So I guess we go back to my previous proposal from the mac-pascal mailling list instead: * Make file-handling routines which take filenames as parameters from the RTL modular so that the LCL can implement them with UTF-8 support. This plus a UTF-8 widestring manager and the Ansi RTL can be fully UTF-8. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
