[fpc-devel] natural unicode support for WinNT via UTF-8

2005-04-14 Thread Yury B.

Hello fpc-devel, Why integer is 16-bit in default (FPC) mode? It's ok to define it as 16-bit in BP-compatibility mode, but in FPC it should be like in delphi - natural to the platform, i.e. 32-bit for 32-bit x86... or does 64-bit platform also uses 32-bit integers as default, so that lon

[fpc-devel] RTL Unicode support, Win32/CE
