Thanks for all

Finally I use the program notepad to save the files below  in Unicode  format, and compiling wireshark-0.99.7 has passed.

The files converted:
wireshark-0.99.7\wiretap\dbs-etherwatch.c
wireshark-0.99.7\epan\dissectors\packet-ansi_map.c
wireshark-0.99.7\epan\dissectors\packet-bacapp.c
wireshark-0.99.7\epan\dissectors\packet-bacapp.h
wireshark-0.99.7\epan\dissectors\packet-cisco-erspan.c
wireshark-0.99.7\epan\packet-e212.c
wireshark-0.99.7\epan\packet-per.c
wireshark-0.99.7\epan\packet-wbxml.c
wireshark-0.99.7\asn1\ansi_map\packet-ansi_map-template.c

also, Maybe use iconv for win32 to batchly convert these files .

iconv for win32 download address: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/libiconv-1.9.2-1.exe?modtime=1138549015&big_mirror=1

compiling system info:
OS: windows xp sp2 (code page 936)
C compiler: Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition
Platform SDK: SDK Server 2003 R2
