[fpc-devel] Can't read file written as result of TFileStream

2008-09-12 Thread Alex Simachov
Hello All, I'm writing file using TFileStream (0.9.25 lazarus/fpc 2.2.2/mac os x 10.5.4). Code: TFileStream.Create(Filename,fmCreate,WRITE_FILEMODE); But then I can't read it because I don't have any permissions (ever to read) for this file. (File is created under /Users/MyName/ directory. )

Sorry, but I meant comparing with collation. I did not mean comapring within labguage context. How can you do /proper/ collation while ignoring the language context? 1) 'sıkıcı' which means 'boring' in English (notice the dotless small 'i's) 2) 'sikici' which means 'fucker' in English Depe

[Note that, here 'TCharacter' isn't necessarily an object; it might as well be a simple record structure.] AFAIK for most programmers this is not a common task. Most programs need less (one language or codepage) But, when you're talking unicode, codepage is rather meaningless --isn't it? or
