I didn't mean literally search and replace - that would simply be too
easy. ;-) Some work and testing would be required, otherwise Delphi
would have had Unicode support much sooner.

If anybody has the time, I would really like to learn how. Using FPC
3.x. Running the example program in a Latin-1 [console] environment and
still get the correct data stored in the output.data file. I can't see a
solution until SqlDB is changed.
