Andrew,

I'm fully aware of that, and I have rtfm some years back. My comment was about the size definition.

While you have the red pen in your hand, you might also want to point out that I considered the terminating null a single byte in the example of the wide character string functions. I don't use wide chars in my programs so I don't know if it's a single or double 0. But hey, while we're listing mistakes...

It is sad to see how one gets chastised about typos and conceptual ideas (as opposed to list debugged code)...
