Why want? I use Unicode in a big VCL-Application since 2002 with the help
of ElPack. And I have Unicode in the GUI even unter Win9x/ME.
|
That is fine for useres that use ElPack.
But an unicode enabled VCL would enable unicode in ALL 3rd party components!
So even users that do not use ElPack would be able to use unicode (and what
is if you need a special control that is not included in ElPack???)
Ciao,

I really want Unicode support to VCL. Elpack and TNT are great but they are
not VCL. If VCL would be in Unicode that would make all 3rd party component
writers gradually support Unicode. Current situation is bad where every
vendor has different approach to Unicode.
VCL's biggest drawback is the lack of Unicode support. I need a VCL that
same source code gives be 32-bit and 64-bit with Unicode. I have been asking
this for past 10 years.
Best regards,
Jaakko

And .NET doesn't support Unicode unter Win9x/ME (Ok, for new
applications in 2007 this isn't a high problem any more). |

Exactly and would allow other 3rd party developers to easily make their
components unicode without every 3rd party doing their own
implementation.
Just like why on earth is there no VCL translation for GDI+ or PNG
support that everyone can take advantage of.

My understanding is that they have just renamed all their newsgroups which is probably why you are
having trouble (don't ask me why they did this, its anoying). If you click on the link on their home
page it doesn't work, its the old address. Try:
lmd.public.vcl.elpack
on the server:
news.lmd.de |

I don't understand this? Are your HTML, XML and CSV files full of
numbers only? No text? How do I discriminate between "LAN", "LAN" and
"LAN" (A, A-umlaut, A-ring) while only using characters with a code <
128?
(That's "a piece of metal", "county", "loan")
