This is condensed from GraphicEx from the Virtual Tree View people.
If I compile the following (in Tokyo)
var
ZLIB_VERSION: String[10] = '1.1.2';
s: string;
procedure TForm1.FormClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
s := 'hello world';
if s[1] <> ZLIB_VERSION[1] then // <-- dcc32 Error E2015
...
I get the compiler error
"Operator not applicable to this operand type"

It compiles with typecast:
if s[1] <> Char(ZLIB_VERSION[1]) then
The legacy string[N] type contains ANSI characters while the standard
string type contains Unicode (UTF16) characters. Looks like there is no
automatic type conversion between ANSI and Unicode anymore in
statements like your original.

There never was, for individual characters. Only for whole strings.

The above is from the MZLib.pas unit from Mike Lischke's GraphicEx library,
function DeflateInt2,
Would that mean GraphicEx never compiled?

More likely, you are trying to compile a version of GraphicEx that is
intended for pre-Unicode versions of Delphi. Make sure you are
compiling the right version.
