I see. Bit this is exactly what I meant: RawByteString, RawWordString and RawDWordString and RawQWordString are distinguishable by the "character-size" (1, 2, 4, 8) tag. "x := str1[1] is handled appropriately. I feel that what Martin wants (the old Widestring type) would be a two-Byte RawByteString. But if there are differences (e.g. with non case sensitive "if str1= str2 then ...") an additional "WideChar" encoding type might be sensible. -Michael _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
