  Is there no chance to get the author, Werner Rumpeltesz, to release the code 
as open source, or hand it over to others who are willing to continue 
development?

Ability to use old plugins with ANSI encoding

2019-01-28 Thread Gwen
Hello tbbeta, hello Maxim,

Older plugins work only with ANSI encoding of strings.
Since 8.0 The Bat! uses Unicode. That is why plugins mostly fail.
Some plugins are not supported by plugin author to be compiled to new
Delphi code.
In my case f.ex. XMP plugin does not work anymore to code german Umlauts
correctly.

Please, Maxim and Ritlabs devs, can something to be done with adding a
Macro to use ANSI as encoding for string to be used as parameter in plugins.

See ny bug https://bt.ritlabs.com/view.php?id=1565
