I was thinking that would be correct though. AFAICT from reading the c++ standard, it doesn't care about the size of wchar_t as long as it is large enough to hold the values from the supported locales. Perhaps some c++ expert could help with this a bit? Benjamin is there a problem if wchar_t becomes 64-bits? -eric -- Look out behind you!
