Ah, looking at the .WriteAnsiString() implementation, you seem to be
100% correct.
Procedure TStream.WriteAnsiString (const S : String);
Var L : Longint;
begin
L:=Length(S);
WriteBuffer (L,SizeOf(L));
WriteBuffer (Pointer(S)^,L);
end;
That function is then very deceiving - by doing something extra to
what the method name suggests. Why is the writing of the string length
as a prefix needed?

That works exactly like I intended. Thanks Gerard.
