  • for example : result := RC4(memo1.text, 'password');, im using bare strings, dunno if thats what u mean? Commented Nov 12, 2010 at 13:30
  • 1) Memo1.text will be UnicodeString. 2) The constant password as well, as result, if it is of type string. Is the RC4 function able to cope with that? Commented Nov 12, 2010 at 18:30
  • @killercode: encryption functions like RC4 and hashing functions like MD5 are not meant to be run on strings; they are meant to hash bytes. Make sure you get the same array of bytes in Delphi 7 and your Unicode Delphi, and the encryption and hashing will work fine. Even running them on strings will fail in non-unicode Delphi versions (like Delphi 7) if you use them with 'high-bit non ASCII' characters on systems with different character encodings.
