Not really. It will make it mostly incompatible with 95 but 98 up should have everything we need. We will have to test it though to make sure. I propose both a Unicode build and an ANSI build but shifting the focus to the Unicode build. We already have some of these issues anyway since we currently handle Unicode (or dual) input and display on our non-Unicode build, but this can only go so far. The alternatives are: a) No support for multilingual text in the GUI! b) Making a dual ANSI/Unicode app like MSWord and MSIE but anybody who has ever investigated this will know we absolutely don't have the manpower ): I think multilanguage support is more important than Windows 95 support.
