Unrelated note: you might want to check out this topic on MSDN about generic text mappings. That way, you will be (source-level) portable between ASCII and Unicode Windows variants. If you do this, remember to scale malloc() allocations in terms of sizeof(_TCHAR), because sometimes, it will be 2 instead of 1.

Or scrap notions of malloc and use std::basic_string<T> and it's nifty allocator.
