it is the fear, that I could break my working code. This is the main reason, why I am still on 0.9.24. From what I have read in this list, Unicode handling seems to be very complex and to be honest, I did not take the time to look into this subject, because I had no need to do so. Some of my applications interact with embedded systems which use plain short strings for speed reasons. If time does not matter, I use Ansi strings. Putting such a string in a TMemo for example would cause trouble in Lazarus 0.9.26+. I know, I have to use AnsiToUTF8 now. But I could miss something. So, if there would be an Ansi Lazarus version, I could leave my code as it is. May be, that I try to use Unicode Lazarus for new projects. Thanks anyway for your effort.
