OTOH, one of the reasons that FastCode does work so well is that they
select problems with a scope limited enough that they can work on them
independently ("Let's make the fastest PosEX known to man!"). Porting
My code uses a *lot* of Pos-this, StringReplace-that. I have been using

the free FastStrings library.
Where can I see a comprehensive list of what has improved in D2006 in
regards to these functions?

Both Pos and PosEx in D2006 are now fastcode versions.
StringReplace has not changed. The RTL StringReplace function fails on
strings containing null characters. The much faster Fastcode
AnsiStringReplace function works with embedded nulls and it therefore not
compatible.
