Hi all, I am going on with my work to make centericq compatible with wide-character encodings, but I am really slowed down by some "dark corners" in the code which are really hard to understand without any documentation. These are the things I am having difficulties to understand: File: kkconsui/include/texteditor.h struct editfile What do they mean exactly x, y, sx and sy? class texteditor What is the meaning of the properties outx and abscol? What is the purpose of the mark related functions? (startmark(), copymark(), endmark()...) What is the final effect on the program? How can I test changes in those functions? Same question about highlight related functions... Can somebody explain me briefly what is the function showline supposed to do? (it is quite large and it is taking me quite a long time to understand it...) I would be grateful if anyone could help me with these small issues, pointers to documentation I may have overlooked are welcome. One more question, is there any reason why such large use of char pointer is made instead of using the string class? I could not understand if it was by some design choice or if is a legacy from plain C. Would there be some downsides by rewriting everything using only wstring classes?
