The ANSI function to Ansi-fy

This table is not a divine revelation, but my personal reference book.

Windows support non-Unicode function like SomeFunctionExA and SomeFunctionExW for Unicode.
When a call is to non-Unicode function, Windows will pass the call to Unicode, process and then give the result as ANSI, where makes it slower and demands processing overload.

	Ansi-fy	Wide Char, Unicode	Units
const C = '...';	const C: AnsiString = '...';
CompareText	AnsiCompareText	CompareText	SysUtils; AnsiStrings. Case insensitive, ignoring accents characters.
CompareStr	AnsiCompareStr	CompareStr	SysUtils; AnsiStrings
FindWindow	FindWindowA	FindWindowW (in Delphi Versions >= 2009 the same as FindWindowW)
GetDiskFreeSpace	GetDiskFreeSpaceA	GetDiskFreeSpace (in Delphi Versions >= 2009 calls GetDiskFreeSpaceW)	Windows
GetTempPath	GetTempPathA	GetTempPath (in Delphi Versions >= 2009 calls GetTempPathW)	Windows
LowerCase	AnsiLowerCase	LowerCase	SysUtils or AnsiStrings (Delphi 2009+)
SameText	AnsiSameText	SameText calls AnsiCompareText. Case insensitive
ShellExecute	ShellExecuteA	ShellExecuteW (in Delphi Versions >= 2009 the same as ShellExecute)	ShellApi
ShellExecute	ShellExecuteA	ShellExecuteW (in Delphi Versions >= 2009 the same as ShellExecute)	ShellApi
ShellExecuteInfo	ShellExecuteInfoA	ShellExecuteInfoW (in Delphi Versions >= 2009 the same as ShellExecuteInfo)
SHGetPathFromIDList	SHGetPathFromIDListA	SHGetPathFromIDList (in Delphi Versions >= 2009 calls SHGetPathFromIDListW)	ShlObj
StrAlloc	AnsiStrAlloc	in Delphi Versions >= 2009 StrAlloc calls WideStrAlloc	SysUtils
UpperCase	AnsiUpperCase	UpperCase	SysUtils or AnsiStrings (Delphi 2009+)
