[fpc-pascal] Strings - suggestions

Hi,
thanks for the quick reply.

So the direction seems to be quite clear...
... unfortunately this seemingly wasn't communicated clearly enough to the 
surroundings.

Do you mean really seperated sources or a comiler switch?

What's the problem to use the "new" RTL with Ansistring? I can't see a 
problem, if it doesn't use direct string access...
... of course you have to compile it accordingly..

>so you can choose which string type you need per unit
Can a project wide choice override this for *any* unit (3rd party) or will 
there be conversion going on between the different units?

d.l.i.w
