only if it is not too much pain to implement... should not be a top priority, but would still be nice.

Hi alizta,
i dont like the unicode stuff... pure is to create small executeables... if you want save a string in unicode format, it need double size due fact of $00 between each char... So all internal string routines has been to changed and even if a sting is terminated with $00 for example... So i am not a friend of unicode stuff (its just my personal opinion).

Fred, if you want add this in future, please make it optional. I think before adding such things, it would make more sence to have resources and doubles for example!

Unicode is needed for nice internationalized program, it's not a good point to say 'I don't like it'. It's a fact now, and all the Win32 API now support unicode. It take this in consideration, optional of course.
