 Chrissy:

 Any windows after win95 that contains a parameter that is a STRING

 will have a "A" ASCII or "W" UNICODE version of the function NAME.

 The difference is that the ASCII uses 8 bit characters and

 UNICODE code uses 16 bit characters.

 UNICODE was added so that international language codes could be passed

 to windows. There also functions in windows to CONVERT back and forth

 between ASCII and UNICODE.

 There are some functions that have the same NAME except one function

 ends Ex in the function NAME. This stands for EXTRA parameters.

 If you compare these functions you will see that the Ex contains

 extra parameters.
