How are you "reading" it?

Hi, my project has the UNICODE and _UNICODE macros defined. I want to
display a lot of chinese text, and this is working well for me.

However, within the code, I make a call to a function:
TestFunction(char * input);

I need to supply it with MBCS format. So I use a T2A()....
TestFunction(T2A(input)); and all is good (assuming the string is
english alphabet chars).

However.. that "input" string is read from a text file. If the input
string is something like this..
"abcdefgXXXhigjklmop" - where "XXX" denotes some chinese MBCS chars

If i read that string my project reads it as unicode and gets it
wrong. How do i "tell" my application to read it as MBCS (it's always
MBCS)?

I hope this makes sense.. it's a bit confusing to me. The reading
worked correctly before i changed my app to UNICODE. now if there's
chinese chars in the file, it doesn't work.
