Only by adding 50 lines of extra code to the multiple demo programs, instead of having a simple text file someone can edit. It really is overkill for simple demo applications. I changed the FTP client demo today, and I can perhaps see why you want to save two unicode strings there. Except I don't find the client demo useful for proper FTP testing, only simple one-off commands. I use the TMagFtp component which lists existing files and directories in unicode, so all the FTP commands get tested together without needing a unicode root. I have to say I find it very disappointing that CodeGear never tested TMemIniFile properly with Unicode for D2009, there is only so much beta testers can be expected to do, for various complex reasons. All my applications use TMemIniFile, so they won't be migrating to D2009 any time soon. IniFile with an API call for each line was always so inefficient.

[twsocket] New account INI files in the FTP server demo
Angus, can't you create those INI files at run-time rather than put them in the package? It is because I just changed the demos to use a function GetIcsIniFileName which currently returns a subfolder under CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, this can be easily changed though. -- Arno -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
