(it can be larger, since a printable char might be more than one codepoints. (Thai iirc uses up to 4). This is due to the fact that interpunction in a lot of languages is more or less combined into the last char. > A pipe dream, like I said before... :-) I don't see the point why > developers want to switch between compilers, using the same code base. > Simply pick a compiler that can do it all, FPC!! (It happens. However sharing libraries are more important for sharing then actual end-developer projects. Specially the open source ones. And why not? A few defines extra and your audience is larger) _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
