AFAIK in D2009 improved AnsiStrings unit for backward compatibility. Try use it.

Thanks ,I tried that, but then you have to be carefull, you need to take all the following into consideration as per help files:
Additional Code to Consider
Search for the following additional code constructs to locate Unicode enabling problems:

a.. AllocMem(
b.. AnsiChar
c.. of AnsiChar
d.. AnsiString
e.. of Char
f.. Copy(
g.. GetMem(
h.. Length(
i.. PAnsiChar
j.. Pointer(
k.. Seek(
l.. ShortString
m.. string[
Code containing such constructs might need to be changed to properly support the UnicodeString type.

Shew!!! This is going to be difficult, and needs to be well thought through .. not just a matter of recompiling the code in D2009 as we did in D2007.

I think instead of Char, user AnsiChar
