Ron, Yes, what I mean is the native xHarbour UNICODE support which would enable the end-to-end handling of the UNICODE strings without the need of their conversion to any particular codepage. In such architecture the UNICODE string kept in datastore (Oracle, modified DBF e.t.c) is read via RDD as UNICODE, processed by application (VM) as UNICODE and then eventually displayed on the screen (or written to datastore/file) as UNICODE. Such solution allows multiple languages in a single string to be processed transparently.
