[DUG] Internationalization/Delphi 2009

[Alister Christie]

If you are wanting a detailed summary of what's new in D2009 - you 
should buy Marco Cantu's book (you'll learn more than you ever wanted to 
know about Unicode - the first 3 chapters about 100 pages). You get an 
electronic copy free with D2009 - which you can't print out. You can 
also get Bob Swarts book:

Which is less detailed, but still has lots of info (I haven't finished 
reading Marco's book yet)
