Re^7: Character encoding in console in Windows

Strange. A) That I've never encountered it. B) that they dropped it for Vista.

Not that I'm gonna miss what I never knew I had.

I think dropping it for Vista was fallout from the problem that under Win32, any program could send window messages to any other program, which was a bad thing, as you could send `WM_TIMER` messages with a callback parameter to execute arbitrary code in the other executable. I'm using filename drag-n-drop quite often, but I'm still on Windows XP.	[reply] [d/l]
