Questions about upgrading everything (debating unicode version) |

David Puett | I've moved to a new i7 laptop, Windows 7, Delphi XE Pro, and I'm only going to use only ElevateDB under XE. I'm going to code primarily for Win 7. Should I install the unicode version of EDB?

Need more input! I would say, if starting from scratch or if you need to be multi-lingual, and if your systems are self contained, go Unicode and be done with it. And it's not that hard. But if you need to interface with old hardware/firmware, use serial comms or have to interface with 3rd party, ansi-based systems, it gets more complicated and needs a judgement. But the future *is* unicode. Malcolm -- |
