Hi,
from digging the sources I know, that on Unix-like Systems the
comparison of strings is done according to the current locale (Pascals
"strcomp" is mapped to C-libs "strcoll").
Can I assume that this is done similar on all other platforms, too?
I'm asking myself if I have to consider something special when sorting
strings or if a comparison using the RTL function will allways be
"correct" (not talking of special sort orders for rarely occuring
cases).
TIA,
Marc
