I need string with Windows-1251. Tried var msg: AnsiString(1251) but this does not work. What I am doing now is

var msg: rawbytestring;
begin
   SetCodePage(msg, 1251, True);
end.

This should work

type
  StringCP1251 = AnsiString(1251)
var
  S: StringCP1251;

That should be
 type
   StringCP1251 = type AnsiString(1251);
