<H1>Release 34</H1>
In summary, I've concentrated on UNICODE issues.
The <CODE>wfc.h</CODE> header file now properly
sets up the linker to initialize the C Runtime
environment for UNICODE builds as well as automatically
linking the proper version of WFC.LIB.
In release 35 I'll work on
<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/TR/" TARGET="_parent">XML</A>
entity resolution (as well as more bug fixes).

<H2>What's New</H2>

<B><A HREF="CBase64Coding.htm">CBase64Coding</A></B> - Simple
base64 encoder/decoder. This is what MIME uses to send binary data in e-mail.<P>

<B>CDragQuery</B> - Encapsulates the HDROP handle
and API. Useful when handling the WM_DROPFILES
message (or OnDropFiles method in MFC::CWnd).<P>

<H2>Bug Fixes/Enhancements</H2>

<B><A HREF="CBitArray.htm">CBitArray</A></B> - Fixed
a bug, thanks to Jeff Winkler (winkler1@sprynet.com),
in the <CODE><B>SetSize</B>()</CODE> method. Also
added a new constructor that allows you set the size
and added a new method, <CODE><B>SetAll</B>()</CODE>
that allows you to set all the bits in the array to
one or zero.<P>

<B><A HREF="CXMLE.htm">CExtensibleMarkupLanguageElement</A></B> - Jeff
Winkler (winkler1@sprynet.com) found a couple of serious bugs.
One was where I was not properly parsing empty, self-terminated
elements (<CODE>&lt;job/&gt;</CODE> for example). Another
was I wasn't allowing for attribute values to be single-quote
terminated. They are both fixed now. Also, all string
comparisons are case sensitive.<P>

<B><A HREF="LSOCKETS.htm">CListeningSocket</A></B> - Fixed
UNICODE problems.<P>

<B><A HREF="lzfile.htm">CLZFile</A></B> - Fixed UNICODE problems.<P>

<B><A HREF="CNetwork.htm">CNetwork</A></B> - Fixed UNICODE
problem in <CODE><B>Open</B>()</CODE>.<P>

<B><A HREF="CNetworkUser.htm">CNetworkUsers</A></B> - Fixed
Unicode problem in <CODE><B>Delete</B>()</CODE>.<P>

<B><A HREF="CRandomNumberGenerator.htm">CRandomNumberGenerator</A></B> - One
of the things that
always bothered me about this class was that to achieve
a flat distribution of ones and zeroes across the lowest
8 bits of the value returned by <CODE><B>GetInteger</B>()</CODE>,
I used two values from <CODE><B>GetFloat</B>()</CODE>.
This meant the number of random values pulled using
<CODE><B>GetInteger</B>()</CODE> (before the series
started repeating) was half that of 
<CODE><B>GetFloat</B>()</CODE>.
Then I got the bright idea of hashing the data. The 
results are great! The distribution of ones and zeroes
is now flat across all 32 bits of the integer (take
a look at the code in <CODE><B>test_CRandomNumberGenerator.cpp</B></CODE>
to see how I test the generator). This
means the generator is now good for
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (i.e. 10^30)
integers instead of only
  500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (i.e. 5*10^29) integers. YIPPEE!<P>

<B><A HREF="CRAS.HTM">CRemoteAccessService</A></B> - Fixed
problem in <CODE><B>EnableLogging</B>()</CODE>.<P>

<B><A HREF="serial.htm">CSerialFile</A></B> - Fixed some
UNICODE problems and added
<CODE><B>SetPurgeBufferOnError</B>()</CODE>. This
allows you to turn off the automatic purging of incoming data
when a framing error was detected. Thanks Dave!<P>

<B><A HREF="CService.htm">CService</A></B> - Fixed
multiple debugging statements.<P>

<B><A HREF="CSvcmgr.htm">CServiceControlManager</A></B> - Rainer Kukasch (rk@sicom.de) found
a bug in the <CODE><B>Stop</B>()</CODE> method.
It would stop the service but always
return FALSE. It is fixed now.<P>

I'm just a simple little NT programmer. Most of the work I do is remote controlling equipment in real time. I started out using Windows 3.0. Then came 3.1 and then NT. I started using NT but unfortunately, Microsoft didn't. I started using MFC but unfortunately, Microsoft didn't (and still doesn't) put any real support for NT into MFC so I wrote a bunch of C++ classes to make my life easier. Like all class libraries, mine grew. Now I'm giving it away, I call it Win32 Foundation Classes.
