+// -=- TCharArray.h
+
+// This library contains the wide-character equivalent of CharArray, named
+// WCharArray.  In addition to providing wide-character equivalents of
+// the char* string manipulation functions (strDup, strFree, etc), special
+// versions of those functions are provided which attempt to convert from
+// one format to the other.
+//    e.g. char* t = "hello world"; WCHAR* w = wstrDup(t);
+//    Results in w containing the wide-character text "hello world".
+// For convenience, the WStr and CStr classes are also provided.  These
+// accept an existing (const) WCHAR* or char* null-terminated string and
+// create a read-only copy of that in the desired format.  The new copy
+// will actually be the original copy if the format has not changed, otherwise
+// it will be a new buffer owned by the WStr/CStr.
+
+// In addition to providing wide character functions, this header defines
+// TCHAR* handling classes & functions.  TCHAR is defined at compile time to
+// either char or WCHAR.  Programs can treat this as a third data type and
+// call TStr() whenever a TCHAR* is required but a char* or WCHAR* is supplied,
+// and TStr will do the right thing.
