Hi Experts,
A friend of mine wants to port an application from Delphi 7 to a be a
Lazarus 64 Bit Windows application.
This (huge) application only features a very limited GIU, but uses
strings lot for "uncoded" characters, going in and out via TCP/IP. Any
automatic type conversion would kill the application.
So it would be necessary that fpc is configured to use the (old) 8 bit
Strings. These might be used with UTF8 encoding for the GUI stuff (and
for some limited locations in the business-code with *explicit*
conversion).
Is this possible with the current version of Lazarus ?
As I lost the clue on the planned path regarding code-aware strings:
will this be possible with future versions of Lazarus ,as well ?
Thanks,
-Michael
