Developer Help: any dlls to support unicode as file level?

[Space Fractal]

Hi Anyone.

I have trouble to get unicode at work on my software, because BlitzMax do not support unicode at filelevel, only at string level.

It seen some users have some trouble with my software due to that. So I need to ask Visual Basic people to help me a bit (which would been a least credited in my App).

I known there are Visual Basic or C++ people out here (Windows), which I hope can create a little dll (it need to been a dll) to doing these few three thing:

- Reading files on a directory (readdir) with a returning string pointer (2 byte unicode format) with a ? or such to seperateeach files. Sorting not required.

- Read a unicode based file into the a memory, and then return a pointer to that (for coverarts when folders is unicoded).

- Request File & Directory with a returned 2 byte unicode string.

It must been support unicode 100% which is the main problem in MultiJuke yet, and can not support it from other help as well. It should not return any ? which cause when chars could not converted correctly.

nevermind 

It seen the help in Pure Basic have some confutation when it support unicode or not (some state it only supported latin codebase, but it also conation a unicode info what it support). It seen it fully support unicode when enabled it on the compiler.

So I created a little dll, so file scanning a least got to work with unicode support and then send it to BlitzMax (which MultiJuke is wrote in). Now I need to get coverarts to work and fix some quite of other bugs.

I can't release this dll, because it might treats the Pure Basic License when using a wrapper.
