</div>I think Craig understands that - how do you intend to call APIs from the<br>
command line? (Yes, rundll probably but ok).<br>
Otherwise, could you explain a bit more?<br>
<br>
BTW: IIRC, there was a huge discussion about using the unicode API for<br>
(once again IIRC) exactly the file deletion/manipulation API calls in<br>
the FPC list. @Richard: you could have a search through there...<br>
