Fred:
Windows CE uses only double-byte (UNICODE) format of charachters for
I/O.
You MUST convert all chars to/from double byte formats (Here is one
key word: "TEXT", just go to the GLOSSARY). Also, you may want to open
TCHAR.H file.......
Many standard well-known APIs exist in two(or more) different forms
(char, wchar, tchar, ... - description of API will show you all
"brothers" and "sisters")
It is really not that hard at all, just be careful ........
