It's as if open source developers are parroting it from each other. I don't buy it, because SDL wouldn't be the first project to need Unicode support across Win9x and WinNT. Mozilla has done it for ages in their software, a Unicode layer library by Microsoft exists, and an open-source variant of said library exists as well. That's several compatibility layers you can reuse in one way or another. Yet people act like those don't exist. _______________________________________________ SDL mailing list [email protected] http://lists.libsdl.org/listinfo.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org
