Borland may have made a change that will cause us to leave Delphi.  The 
change in strings is creating a near epic conversion for us.  We use a lot 
of third party controls and apparently it was pretty common to interchange 
AnsiString with String as well as use functions like StrPas.  So now we have 
weeks of hacking through code casting, changing, etc.  After our pilot 
project to convert a small set of controls that normally would take about 
ten minutes to upgrade to the latest Delphi over about three days.  The boss 
is asking if we would be better off spending that time and money converting 
our client to C#.  This could be the end for us using Delphi.  Shame.

The big dumb question of the day is there any directive to turn off 
UnicodeString or to force String to be defined the old way?
