Hi,
in the current GPC version, I've included a StringUtils unit for general string handling routines (on a higher level than the built-in and RTS routines).
Up to now, it only contains routines for a string hash table, but I'm planning to add some more routines. Perhaps some of you also have some routines to contribute (or features to request).
May be a unit in my tool box is a candidate. Everybody can read it at: http://www.desy.de/~bohnen/gpc/dictionary.pas I can't give anwers next 3 weeks, will be back on Oct 7. Ernst-Ludwig Bohnen
Conditions for inclusion into this unit should be, IMHO:
Generally useful (not meant specifically for a certain program or something),
self-contained (not relying on an external library etc.),
new functionality compared to the existing routines (whereas the same or similar functionality under a different interface for compatibility purposes should go into other units, like GPCUtil for compatibility to `Turbo Power' units),
and, of course, compilable with the current GPC version, portable, bug-free, etc. ;-)
The same goes for the FileUtils unit which has been there for some months already.
