bleh Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hey there fellow µT-ers, after trying the unicode beta of µtorrent, I came to realize thatunicode applications aren't natively supported by windows platforms under NT... and then it dawned on me : "damnit, hope this doesn't mean that µtorrent will cease to work under these platforms if that's implemented as standard!" so, in a question: if unicode is implemented, does that mean that all us older OS people are dead in the water?

rafi Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I believe they are working on it... http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=25235#p25235There is still hope ... if M$ did a good job, it should be fine. UniCode should work on Win98/ME with this on your system - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=73BA7BD7-ED06-4F0D-80A4-2A7EEAEE17E2&displaylang=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleh Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 thanks rafi, I'll try this and bounce back some impressions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I thought it worked on all NT OSes. Unicode's been in NT since version 3...Anyway, something will be figured out for the 9x systems, support won't be dropped for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleh Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Okey, after a bit of hassling, I finally gave up and started reading the looong loong page about the unicode layer... and it turns out that the DLL should be compile INTO the program....Then I read THIS in the "features of this dll" section"Lightweight and easy to use - Weighing in at ~160kb " <- LMAOAfter having this laugh, I took a gander at what options I had, and realized that µtorrent really is perfect as it is, anything else would be just a bonus (But still, it feels nice to know that Ludde is utilizing his mad coder skillz to get around it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 the dll isn't compiled into the program, you only put in a little bit of code to call it on 9x systems. the dll itself should go into system32 (but could probably go in the same dir as the program).Anyway, ludde isn't gonna use unicows, he's coding unicode -> ANSI wrappers for all the unicode functions for 9x systems. This way he doesn't have to make a separate build or use unicows (he doesn't want to make people download a dll) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Not to thread crap, but there's no reason to use Winbloze 9x/Me over XP/2000. Why not upgrade? Even XP is 4 years old for God's sake... :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 'Cause with µT's very low resource use you can use old machines as torrent slaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splintax Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Yeah, that's one of the main points of µT!"Lightweight and easy to use - Weighing in at ~160kb " <- LMAOHeh, good to see ludde is coding his own solution then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
