You're talking about things that aren't high priority. You will have to wait a bit for this features, or you program it by yourself.

about unicode, for those who still didn't get it. ReactOS internally works - just like windows - with unicode - only very little things use ansi (same does windows in some very few cases). 99% of the OS (including GUI) uses unicode. if applications use ansi functions it'll reduce the speed of the applications because strings have to be converted back and forth all the time...

What for to reimplement Borland dll's?
You just can redistribute these dll's with application which needs them
without any copyright problem.
BTW correctly built applications which are created by Borland tools
have all required non-statdard libraries included in their installation packages.

Ahh but are they 'free' in the same way ReactOS is.
The Borland compilers are not free either, are they? If you have the compiler you are allowed to redistribute the .DLLs I suppose. If you don't have the compiler having the .DLLs doesn't bring you anything. That's different with MSVCRT, you can use GCC to generate code which will use MSVCRT.

1) In fact latest Borland C++ command-line compiler is free.
2) Idea of my first message was:
If some software needs Borland dll's then it should include them
in installer becouse these dll's are not included in Windows install too.
Borland allow to redestribute these dll with software created by Borland
tools and these dll's should work in ReactOS as any other binary dll.
If they do not then ReactOS should be fixed.

Maybe
www.lazarus.freepascal.org is able to work. They have new build,
I was able to compile my old school project with it with small amount
of work. It is portable and based on gtk, so probably it would run on ROS
(haven't tried yet, but will, when I find some time).
