I think you can still do the byte-size operations this way: ForceEncoding(S, iso-xxxx) P:=PChar(S); While (P^<>#0) do SomeByteSizedOperation;
Similarly for any other code supposing an encoding. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
