That's the reason behind most of the functions we've marked as deprecated in 7.0 - upgrading them to support Unicode would break existing stacks in subtle ways

... and the Apple way is also to completely change what's the "right thing" while breaking not only compatibility but often their own rules too. And that actually seems to keep the fans happy; to each his own. With LC I consider both Win and Mac to be a normal and inevitable part of life. Both are far from perfect.
But that's beside the point, which is: I believe RunRev truly did the right thing in considering both compatibility and future features in this release. It was just that - considerate, for all users and for all goals. Good job RunRev! Thanks again.
