A Lazarus Win9x widgetset, also using AnsiStrings in the components.


That would not be necessary I think.
We have some crude widestring mangager for win9x (win9xwsmanager) in fpc.
We have lazutf8.

Clarification: With AnsiString I mean byte encoding, in contrast to UTF-16 (Wide/UnicodeString).

They work OK on win9x now AFAIK.

It would also mean that calls to SysToUTF8, FindFirstUtf8 in user code
must be ifdef-ed to not be used with win9x?

UTF-8 is okay. A conversion into Ansi encoding is cheap, if ever required, in contrast to UTF-16 conversion which *always* requires additional memory.
