I don't understand the use of encoding 0 and CP_NONE in FPC. Can 
somebody explain?

Furthermore I suspect that the implementation of

Function Pos(Const Substr : RawByteString; Const Source : RawByteString) 
: SizeInt;

is wrong. The comparison must take into account the encodings of both 
strings.


Function Pos(c : AnsiChar; Const s : RawByteString) : SizeInt;
is questionable at all, when the encoding of the arguments is unknown or 
ignored (as is).


I have the bad impression that the implementors didn't understand the 
purpose and correct use of RawByteString, or try to implement something 
incompatible with Delphi :-(
