Yes, Unicode is preferred, and ANSI builds of DialogBlocks will be
phased out altogether
when Win95/ME are no longer relevant. (In fact I'd like to stop
releasing ANSI builds but
there are a few people still working on these earlier OSes.)
There's no penalty that I can think of when using the Unicode build, and
you can create ANSI
apps with the Unicode version.
