Lazarus/freepascal compile error - how to solve?

[User137]

Ain't Lazarus by default using UTF, so some characters reserve 1 byte and others 2. But i recall reading paul had widestring compiler directive, and i'm not sure about that stuff

I'm not sure about the 2 byte vs 1 byte Char issue....I am passing strings to the DLL using PWideChar. I will have to investigate this further

thanks guys

cheers,
Paul
