Hi Rod,

In addition to what Igor posted, you will also want to use TCHAR instead of char and the appropriate string functions that also start with _t... like:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kk6xf663(VS.80).aspx

If you use these macros you will be able to compile your program either for ANSI or Unicode (for the most part) so it's a good idea to just get in the habit of using them rather than just typing in the strings.

I'm building all my new projects in Unicode these days so it likely doesn't matter for that except that it's almost as easy to type _T("Text") as it is to type L"Text" so ...

No, but VC++ 1.0 is. VC++ 1.0 builds executables for DOS and Win3.1. It
cannot build a Win32 executable (mainly because it predates Win32 by a
few years).

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
