Actually, for the most part the Win9x code base has more in common with its 16-bit cousins than its Unicode brothers NT and Win2000. It is very non-Unicode in many cases very 16-bit based, unfortunately. Think of the Win9x 32-bitness being a bit like painting your house. It may look pretty but it

2000-10-23 Thread Hart, Edwin F.
