Note that this might sound useful now ansistring without codepage is still the default string, but if the default string type changes, this is not really useful. IOW it is a short term hack with a long time support burden IMHO. That being said, I do think we will need to start migrating to the W versions in time. But first a proper decision must be made about the default string type, and such things shouldn't be slipped by the back door. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
