Generic-text mappings

To simplify writing code for international markets, generic-text mappings are defined in TCHAR.H for:

• Data types

• Constants and global variables

• Routine mappings

For more information, see Using generic-text mappings. Generic-text mappings are Microsoft extensions that aren't ANSI compatible.
