As one of the people currently working on wchar support for FreeBSD, I can safely say that it is not in current. I do have 'libwcs' available that includes all functions that I am aware of that start with wcs*(). Also included are man pages and a testsuite for all but 4 of the functions. I can send this to you if desired. This also provides a kick in my pants to finish it up and submit it for review. -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Systems Administrator/Research Programmer | Web: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd 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
