[Lazarus] UTF8ToSys function???

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile the tools/lazdatadesktop application and have
quite a bit of trouble...

I have Lazarus v0.9.25 r16273M i386-linux-gtk and tried to use FPC
2.2.0, FPC 2.2.3 (r11538).  Michael van Canneyt said that
lazdatadesktop should compile fine with FPC 2.2.0 but that doesn't
seem to be the case any more.

I got issues in "regdbexport.pp" and "reglazdatadict.pp" with IFDEF's
being incorrect. They were easy to resolve.

The next issue I got was: Identifier not found "UTF8ToSys"

Michael said he didn't add that code.... So anybody got a clue as to
what version of FPC has "UTF8ToSys" defined???

Hell no, I definitely didn't put that code there, probably one of
the Lazarus folks did that. I suggest you put
