Well, I can't check under Win2000, but if you really get 2 there, then MS has fixed a bug in the meantime. The SDK says:
"If the two strings are of different lengths, they are compared up to the length of the shortest one. If they are equal to that point, then the return value will indicate that the longer string is greater." IOW the function should indeed return 1.
