William,
Though I don't have the specific answer, note that newer versions of Delphi use
multi-byte Strings by default. Is there an option as project default to use
ANSI strings, or else set the local String variable types to AnsiString.That
might solve your problem.

Subject: Error reading Binary files using Delphi2006
Dear All,
I wrote an application using delphi5 which reads and writes binary file
using TFilestream. But then when I ported the application to Delphi
2006 the files written using old application returns junk data in the
new version.
Sample file open procedure:
procedure OpenProjectFile;
var FSave:TFileStream;
begin
//open an existing project file
FSave:=TFileStream.Create(Open1.FileName,fmOpenReadWrite);
FSave.Read(MyData,Sizeof(MyData));
FSave.Free;
end;
MyData is a record which is the same in both sources.
I am at a loss why this is happening. Can anyone throw some light on this?
Thanks William
