I do not know what you mean saying "normal ascii simbols". Ascii is standart
for 7 bit characters but many of people use it talking about 8 bit

The linker and assembler supports 8 bit characters (i tayed it under
windows).

I do not know. But it is posible to use them. I tryed. It is useless if dll
is written for public use. But it is usable for closed projects.


Why i am speeking about internationalization of fpc? The most important
reason is that we use Pascal translator for teaching algorithms in the
schools. Programs written in the native language are more comprehensible and
readable for pupils.
