SYMPTOMS
If you are running a Japanese version of Microsoft Windows NT and
you try to use Japanese characters on the Web with the Internet Locator
Server (ILS), you get garbled strings back from the ILS database.
CAUSE
The problem is with the following statement:
Because this is a multibyte string, some characters may be 1 byte and some
may be multibyte. There is no function in Microsoft Commercial Internet
System (MCIS) version 1.0 that determines how many characters there are.
(whether they are 1 or more than 1 byte). The lstrlen function returns the
count of bytes.
RESOLUTION
The fix is to change the call from lstrlen to a call to
MutliByteToWideChar because it counts characters and not bytes.
An updated .asp file that correct this problem is available in the
Microsoft Commercial Internet System (MCIS) version 1.0 Service Pack 1
(SP1).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Commercial
Internet System version 1.0. This problem has been corrected in the
latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Commercial Internet System
version 1.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query
