>3) There are some other smaller differences impacting compatibility with code designed to work with type shortstring (e.g. related to used character sets etc.).
Here's a difference I discovered... I see that if I try to do something like: If MyString[1]='~' Then ... If MyString is an AnsiString that is empty then you get a rangecheck error, which is understandable as there is nothing in character 1, but If MyString is just a String and is empty then it runs just fine.... so I have a lot of those kinds of things. So some of these I just changed them back to a string for now, but If I want to change them anyway then I just do If (Length(MyString)>0) and (MyString[1]='~') Then ... And that fixes the issue as well, and it's probably better code as I shouldn't be testing a particular character if there isn't a character there.
