Accessing a 100k of files (filenames to be exact) in a UTF-8 environment (Linux), which must all be stored in a UTF-16 string type. That's lots and lots of encoding conversions right there - in a tight loop. The point is, your apps might not require lots of encoding conversions, but there are lots of different types of apps out there - it all depends on what the application does. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
