Okay, I changed my program to a console program. After much searching I found that "unicodestrings-manager" is not actually a unit. I tried "cwstrings" instead - the wiki page didn't mention this - and could compile and run my program. [t2]$ ./project1 WideChar UpCase ù: Ù ToUpper ù: Ù AnsiChar UpCase ù: ? ToUpper ù: ? The output is not the same as the output from the "Delphi_and_Unicode.pdf" example. Source code: The .pas unit is stored as a UTF-8 encoded file, and the program was run in mate-terminal and xterm, showing the same output as above. =========================== program project1; {$mode delphiunicode}{$H+} uses cwstring, Classes, SysUtils, Character; var ch1: Char; ch2: AnsiChar; begin ch1 := 'ù'; Writeln('WideChar'); Writeln('UpCase ù: ' + UpCase(ch1)); Writeln('ToUpper ù: ' + ToUpper (ch1)); ch2 := 'ù'; Writeln('AnsiChar'); Writeln('UpCase ù: ' + UpCase(ch2)); Writeln('ToUpper ù: ' + ToUpper(ch2)); end. =========================== Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ My public PGP key: http://tinyurl.com/graeme-pgp _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
