The ANSI string is not the problem (in my thinking). The main problem I
have is that Linux does not have a message pump, so I don't know how to
support events. I should study the Linux kernel, but did not found the
time for it.
The other problem is the lack of TForm for Linux. It seems that the
Ubuntu server (witch I have installed) is only a command line thing. I
use Lazarus for Linux development who support full TForm for Linux.
it seems we only can develop console or service applications for Linux.
Or am I wrong in this?

Embarcadero has today released RAD Studio 10.2 Tokyo.
The main improvement is a Delphi Linux compiler, supporting Ubuntu
Server (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) and RedHat Enterprise Linux (version 7).
The full list of changes is at:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Tokyo/en/What's_New
The ICS download page has a new recommended stable version V8.44,
available in four separate zips for all Delphi versions or just 10,
10.1 and 10.2.
http://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download
ICS V8.44 should also be available from GetIt for the last three
versions of Delphi within a few days.
This version includes OpenSSL 1.1.0e.
As discussed recently in this mailing list, we are investigating
support for Linux by ICS, but it is a different compiler with no ANSI
strings, so not trivial. But we already support the Apple MacOS
compiler which has ANSI strings, so most of the Linux work is tried and
tested.
