Off-the-top-of-my-head ideas: 1. Use CreateProcessW (only an option if you can rule out 95/98/ME support) 2. Pass escape sequences so instead of passing "UTF8.exe \x81" you pass "UTF8.exe \\U+81" or "UTF8.exe " or something like that (only an option if the program you are calling can be rewritten to interpret the escape sequences correctly. 3. Pass a reference to a file, a global memory handle or some other way of sharing data rather than passing the data directly as a parameter. Neither of these are ideal, if something better occurs to me I'll let you know. -- Jon Hanna <http://www.hackcraft.net/> *Thought provoking quote goes here*
