 \fBTcl_WinUtfToTChar\fR and \fBTcl_WinTCharToUtf\fR are
 Windows-only convenience
-functions for converting between UTF-8 and Windows strings.  On Windows 95
-(as with the Unix operating system),
-all strings exchanged between Tcl and the operating system are
-.QW "char"
-based.  On Windows NT, some strings exchanged between Tcl and the
-operating system are
-.QW "char"
-oriented while others are in Unicode.  By
-convention, in Windows a TCHAR is a character in the ANSI code page
-on Windows 95 and a Unicode character on Windows NT.
-.PP
-If you planned to use the same
-.QW "char"
-based interfaces on both Windows
-95 and Windows NT, you could use \fBTcl_UtfToExternal\fR and
-\fBTcl_ExternalToUtf\fR (or their \fBTcl_DString\fR equivalents) with an
-encoding of NULL (the current system encoding).  On the other hand,
-if you planned to use the Unicode interface when running on Windows NT
-and the
-.QW "char"
-interfaces when running on Windows 95, you would have
-to perform the following type of test over and over in your program
-(as represented in pseudo-code):
-.PP
-.CS
-if (running NT) {
-    encoding <- Tcl_GetEncoding("unicode");
-    nativeBuffer <- Tcl_UtfToExternal(encoding, utfBuffer);
-    Tcl_FreeEncoding(encoding);
-} else {
-    nativeBuffer <- Tcl_UtfToExternal(NULL, utfBuffer);
-}

-\fBTcl_WinUtfToTChar\fR and \fBTcl_WinTCharToUtf\fR automatically
-handle this test and use the proper encoding based on the current
-operating system.  \fBTcl_WinUtfToTChar\fR returns a pointer to
-a TCHAR string, and \fBTcl_WinTCharToUtf\fR expects a TCHAR string
-pointer as the \fIsrc\fR string.  Otherwise, these functions
-behave identically to \fBTcl_UtfToExternalDString\fR and
-\fBTcl_ExternalToUtfDString\fR.

 \fBTcl_GetEncodingName\fR is roughly the inverse of \fBTcl_GetEncoding\fR.
 Given an \fIencoding\fR, the return value is the \fIname\fR argument that
