Environment: eMbedded Visual C++ 3

I took the code of Zafir Anjum and tried to compile it with eMbedded Visual C++ to use it on a Windows CE-based device, but it didn’t work. So, I changed his code so that it compiles and runs correctly. The code of Zafir Anjum doesn’t work with Unicode strings that are standardly used. I did not change this, but basically I changed all TCHAR variables and all generic text routines to their SBCS equivalents. (TCHAR to char and, for example, _tcslen (generic) to strlen (SBCS).)
