So PLEASE, tell us how to make a code on Windows safe, readable and strong using FPC 2.6.x (AnsiString) and Lazarus (UTF-8) because I and most people still not know. > Yes, 2.8 or 3.0 will be a big change.

I'm here to understand how I can solve my problems and, at the same time, help other people. I'm not doing FUD. My questions are simple: 1. How can I make programs on Windows using FPC and Lazarus without problems with Unicode stuff? 2. What I can do now to protect my code for the new FPC implementations on the future? > The FPC team is working on a more fundamental solution.

Sorry man, but other people have the same problems. That is real. Thanks, anyway. Peace.
