Yes, my dirty hack was to copy character.pas from fpc-3.0.0 (and all 
other needed units[*]) to interfaces\win32.
I also add to edit character.pas to add the missing resource strings and 
the definition of ENoConstructException

I know I'll have to upgrade to fpc 3 someday, but what worries me about 
it is my (and other 3rd party units) use of ansistrings as binary 
buffers. I did some quick tests some time ago an nothing seemed broken, 
but I'm somewhat reluctant since my software has to run unattended 24/7 
(or more like 24/5).
OTOH I can always keep a copy of fpc-2.6.4 and lazarus 1.6.4 recompile 
if something goes wrong.
