Windows 98 has only very limited support for unicode and the "wide 
character APIs".

I can't duplicate this.  If I drag a file into the DragAndDrop demo the 
file(s) are correctly represented.

Probably because wxWidgets only puts a unicode object on the clipboard, 
or expects to find one there, and the other apps you are trying to 
copy.paste from are only using 8-bit ansi strings.  I don't know if this 
can be resolved before 2.6 is released but I'll look into it.
