IIRC the newer Unicode collation sensitive comparison functions hadn't been implemented until Vista Looks like that's the case: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-u

  The thing I most remember is the surprise of intransitive collation order. I also recall implementing case insensitive lookup. It might have been an early version of this one: http://codecentral.embarcadero.com/Item/15171 http://codecentral.embarcadero.com/Item/15171 - from 2001 - but I've written quite a few hash tables over the years, and may be blending the different recollections. I never used Vista, and I'm pretty sure my experience predated Windows 7. I also wrote JclStrHashMap to support JclExprEval: https://github.com/project-jedi/jcl/blob/master/jcl/source/common/JclStrHashMap.pas https://github.com/project-jedi/jcl/blob/master/jcl/source/c... I also wrote the Delphi runtime library TDictionary generic implementation, but that was more recent. Update I found it: original discussion, from newsgroups, has been ported to the web: http://www.delphigroups.info/2/62/478610.html http://www.delphigroups.info/2/62/478610.html It was from 2004, so more like 15 years ago. It's mildly painful to read myself from back then too :)
