There are no Unicode fields, per se.  All string fields are defined as
TWideStringField objects in the Unicode version of EDB.  As for a Unicode
EDB Manager, it's something that we're working on but won't have available
for the initial release.  It's extremely difficult to deal with without
maintaining two separate sets of source code, so we have to automate some
things still to use the TNT Unicode controls instead of the standard ANSI
VCL controls.

Is it possible to migrate DBISAM v4 tables to Unicode EDB Tables
or should i forget it until unicode EDB Manager ?

Sure, but you'll have to use your own code and use the edbmigrate.pas unit.
If you look in there, you'll see a very simple component that will do all
the work for you as long as you simply hook up the source and destination
databases and specify the source tables to migrate.

A couple ?   Are you using Unicode-enabled controls like those from
TNTWare ?

Michael,

Oh, and if you were able to compile it with Unicode-enabled controls, would
you mind sending me a copy ?

Nope, not used any unicode controls.

I'll try to convert the controls to the TNTWare ones and send
you a copy. =)

Shoot, i spoke without even trying ...

You're using a lot of custom code which requires more than
a simple class rename ...
