Profiling Under Windows & String Size

Hi,

1) What was the reason time profiling was not implemented in Euphoria for
Windows? Is it because the timer could not be re-programmed as it could
under DOS? If so, why couldn't timeGetTime() or QueryPerformanceCounter()
be used?

2) In the documentation it states a "string" is simply a sequence of
numbers. Does this mean each character takes 4-bytes of memory, or does
Euphoria store them in single bytes until it has some compelling reason to
do otherwise?

Thanks in advance,
David Guy
