Hi guys,

Seeing that it was said a few times.... We need to wait and see how CodeGear handles Unicode strings. Well, wait no more. The Delphi and C++Builder 2009 Architect Trial edition is now available for download from http://cc.codegear.com/free/delphi.

WARNING:
Just don't peak at the code!!!! We don't want another copyright issue on our hands.

Regards,
- Graeme -

WARNING #2:

Have you read this article yet? http://dn.codegear.com/article/38472

It says: Do Not Use Multibyte Characters in Install Paths.

"Don't use double-byte characters in the path or directory for installation. Delphi and C++Builder 2009 are Unicode-enabled, but the installer has not been enabled for Unicode."

CodeGear is just a joke!! They keep going on about a Unicode enabled IDE and Unicode enabled software, but their installer chokes - it's not Unicode enabled! hehehe.... Practice what you preach CodeGear (or was that CodeFear).

Regards,
- Graeme -

Hmm... They use InstallAware. It seems to be InstallAwars issue, not CodeGear. You don't expect them to write installer from scratch, do you?

With best regards,

I am a betatester for the Tiburon (D2009) release and it is rather good. The unicode support is not flawless (yet) but it is well thought out and the architecture for the implementation is sound. That said: on a realy large codebase it will definitely give you a head-ache. But not as big as I thought and the benefits are greater.
