_tclen() always returns 1!!

[Andrew T. Brown]

_tclen maps to routines for determining the length of a multibyte CHARACTER,
not a string.

Use _tcslen(), which maps to strlen() or it's MBCS or UNICODE equivalents.

Also, you may be interested in using _tmain() and _tprintf(), as well as
using the _T() macro to "wrap" constant strings in your source. See the
documentation for details.

Thanks. That explains it. I overlooked the word "CHARACTER" in the
documentation!!
