MapSL(), MapLS() and UnMapLS() would appear to be undocumented functions from the Windows 95 to Windows 2000 era. The article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/195310 is very informative. I think that a const-correct function whose output pointer derives from an input pointer should only make the const promise if it will not withdraw it on return. (Thus, functions like strchr() are not const-correct.) So it seems right to me that MapLS() should take a non-const input pointer. -- Andy.
