Re: L macro

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I didn't say another OS uses it. I said we use it in order to target
other OSes, and more specifically Mac OS X. And even more
specifically, we define TCHAR to char on Mac OS X. It is based
on UTF-8 after all...

Actually, unless you are targeting non-Microsoft OSes, you

Which non-MS OS uses TCHAR? I would have agreed if you had said that you
can
drop TCHAR if you don't support legacy Windows versions like 98/95.

Assuming you don't care for supporting Win 9x, which is a pretty
moot point by now.

Full ACK.
