So is anybody working on unicode support in the RTL or sysutils unit? I don't see why we need to be waiting for Delphi, we may not look at their implementation anyway. And in the mean time FPC developers like myself need to keep hacking their code to be unicode compatible, when unicode support should be in FPC directly. fpGUI, Lazarus, MSEGUI etc all have their own unicode helper functions for string manipulation, file access handling etc.... All this should actually be in FPC itself, not duplicated over and over in user applications and frameworks.
