It would be a huge duplication of documentation to write in every single Lazarus function that uses string that it expects UTF-8. It would be like writing in every function that string means longstring (aka ansistring), that the routine is not using a shortstring ... well, this is obvious. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
