So what sorts of things were no problem, and what sorts of things were a problem?
If I think of what sorts of things are in my code, there is quite a lot to do with getting the character code of string[i], lots of use of length(string), relying on alphabetic sorting of stringlists, calling ansipos to find the position of a substring within a string, code such as if string[i] > #32. and crlf:=#13#10. From what I have read most of this stuff should be fine. Please tell us the sorts of danger areas to look out for! >From my days in another language whcih was portable across Windows and Unix I got used to isolating anything to do with OS variances - for instance defining CRLF as a constant ( #13#10 in Windows and #10) in Unix etc. I am still trying to keep that in the somewhat remote chance that a linux/OSX version of Delphi might magically appear some day. Its a good idea to have an idea of which type of code are portable across ANSI and UNICODE strings as well... John I have converted 2 programs over. If you have updated all your 3rd party components, and you don't do anything funny with strings then it is quite straight forward. If you do anything strange with strings, it can be a pain in the arse. One program took about 2 hours to convert, the other took about 20.
