There is already a WriteAnsiString ( http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/classes/tstream.writeansistring.html ) with the difference that it also writes out the length. Adding an additional overload (especially with a name like WriteString) would IMHO be confusing because of this. Nothing stops you though from writing a class helper that adds a WriteString method to TStream. Regards, Sven
