That's correct. But in Windows, you use Windows functions for conversion,
and CP_ACP is a valid value there. On *nix, you first have to find out what
the local encoding is, and it seems that Mattias is detecting a problem
there.
Be careful with assuming too much about RawBytestring being a normal type.
In Delphi it is afaik only used in parameters (and function return values),
more or less as a kind of open array type.
There are no variables of the type "rawbytestring" defined.
