I thought TxtCompare is for comparing Multi-byte text?
e.g. If I have a "ABC" in single byte and another string "ABC" in
,say shit_JIS encoding, it will return 0 because they represent
the same text even though the bytes representation are actually
different.
This is from the Palm os reference (3.5):
In certain character encodings (such as Shift JIS), one character may
be accurately represented as either a single-byte character or a
multi-byte character. TxtCompare accurately matches a single-byte
character with its multi-byte equivalent.
