Particularly, I am looking for wcsoll, towupper, and towlower - IOW, the whole barrage of wide character transformation and collation :-) I haven't found anything conclusive in the mailing list archives. Has anyone tried to "fake" support for these functions via iconv operations from wide characters to the locale charset, performing a "normal" toupper / tolower / strcoll, and then transforming back? I am not certain whether these two transformations would be lossy or not. TIA, Stefan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
