Although Windows NT has Unicode-capable widgets, Java is not
making use of them. This causes unnecessary loss of information.

It is straightforward to have a runtime test to determine whether
to the code is running on Windows 95 or Windows NT, and thus
pick which widget to use. This allows the continued use of a
single binary for the Windows platform.

==============================

To test this, insert the 256 characters

\u0041 \0u0141 \u0241 \u0341...

into a TextField and into a TextArea, then get the characters
back out and test for equality.
