OK I think I know the reason why 'ansichar'
Just did a bit of code to list the net adaptors in a combobox and All I get
is symbols (??? and ?...@?). I think I read somewhere Windows may save adaptor
names in unicode since windows 2000 (maybe).
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Fzniffer := TZniffer.create;
Combobox1.Items.assign(Fzniffer.Adapters);
end;
