Ok, I'm back in the saddle (I commute.)
Matt & Derek,
I skimmed some material from MS in the past and I believe the compliance I enjoy now is from patching XP, Office, JET and SQL Server 2K to a minimum of UTF-8 or an ISO-2XXX series. I haven't prepared a test bed, yet, to verify that. But the effect is observable and suffices for Latin and Germanic.
My hope is to move partially away from our MS entrenchment. I'm reviewing more than 11 packages and 3 platforms and can't prove concepts on all of them. So, I'm hoping some users from each camp might have already worked with wide-char and have either design or production knowledge.
Many years ago, I was using Balena's routines to strip and re-apply the encoding for api's that didn't have "...W" equivalents. I'd like to find a non-MS IDE that would process (assign and manipulate) strings natively as wide or at least strip and re-apply without my intervention.
Some authors have stated for the cursory view what is their level of compliance and I'm trying to pin down the rest.
I appreciate all of your comments, <smile - I don't know how on this forum> Gene
