Yes, sorry, it was correct when using the default types in FPC 3.
However making it compatible with Delphi requires some effort, as you noticed.
My experience is that the Unicode support provided by LazUtils leads
to more Delphi compatible code.
The Windows system codepages are a problem, yes. Then data must be
converted in some I/O layer.

Everybody please experiment with it. It can be used also for non-GUI code.
