I don't know if he follows the i18n list. Porting CDE and Motif was the exact reason that those functions exist :) That project is still quite alive and kicking, even if delayed a bit. I have been meaning to finish up the wcs*() functions, and port the NLS support from OpenBSD into Free. I am eager to see that a general interest in this exists. I have been meaning to subscribe to the i18n list, as I knew wcs*() would be brought up there sooner or later :) My next message will be to subscribe to that list. PS: IIRC the version at that URL has a typo in it where _t should become _r in one of the functions. -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Lab Director | Rm: 308 Lally Hall Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
