Hi,

If I want to use WideString, when would I need the cwstring unit? Is it for multiple platform usage (including Windows)?

I'm currently developing under Linux, but my apps need to run under Windows to. Sorry, I couldn't find any documentation on cwstring unit.

Regards,
- Graeme -

No. Only on linux. It links to the C library to support conversion of ansistrings to widestrings and some other things.

On windows you don't need anything, the OS is used for this.

(Also on FreeBSD, probably even on OS X)

Thanks guys for confirming this. After posting the message I look more closely an the unit and saw lots of references to unix type OS's so assumed it's not for Windows.
