Do you mean they don't show up in a console mode program?  If so, of 
course they don't.   They're not in Latin-1.  Read the Unicode chapter 
in the user manual:

	http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/doc/userman/html/unicode.html

If you mean some other output device, which one?  Can you make Russian 
or Chinese characters show up on it without sending them through MySQL++?

utf8_to_win32_ansi() doesn't revert any conversions.  It makes two 
conversions, so there are three different character spaces involved: 
UTF-8, UCS-2, and ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1).  There is no "back", so I don't 
know what you are talking about.

All the past versions of MySQL++ are available from the web site (if you 
can't figure out their URLs, you have no business being a programmer) or 
in the Subversion repository.

If you find a regression, it's then trivial to pinpoint where the change 
occurred, with a binary search through the revision tree.

Help me help you.
