Oh, yet another compiler mode. Okay, just tried, and got these warnings,
but the project at least compiled and generated a binary.

Compile Project, Target: project1: Success, Warnings: 5
project1.lpr(37,47) Warning: Implicit string type conversion with
potential data loss from "UnicodeString" to "AnsiString"
project1.lpr(38,50) Warning: Implicit string type conversion with
potential data loss from "UnicodeString" to "AnsiString"

to "UnicodeString"

project1.lpr(42,50) Warning: Implicit string type conversion with

Now I try and run the binary and get the following error.

[t2]$ ./project1
This binary has no unicodestrings support compiled in.
Recompile the application with a unicodestrings-manager in the program
uses clause.
An unhandled exception occurred at $000000000044354D:
ENoWideStringSupport: SIGQUIT signal received.
  $000000000044354D


Okay, so I add the "unicodestrings-manager" unit to the program unit's
uses clause, as the above message suggests.

Now I can't compile the project...

project1.lpr(10,43) Fatal: Cannot find unicodestrings used by project1
of the Project Inspector.



Yeah, my experience with FPC Unicode is going really well. ;-)
