    tChar

    I'm trying to improve my C++ skills and I came across tChar? I did a search on tChar but could not find much information. If I understand correctly tChar works with both 16bit Unicode and 8 bit strings. This helps make the application more portable. Am I correct about the above two statements? So if its better should a tChar generally preferred over a string? What are the function associated with tChar? If you have a link to a guide that would be great. Thanks

    Edit*
    I have one other question. Why do most people prefer to use a pointer to traverse a string rather than indexing like an array?
