   SVR4 contains routines for I/O using wchar_t in both 16 bit and 32 bit
sizes. Details can be found in the "Multi-National Language Supplement".

 =}of me get the LC_CTYPE stuff on our Suns to cooperate for mbcs tables

   The wstrings.c file in kinput also contains routines for handling
wide characters. But it has a lot of error checking stuff than can be
chucked...

   The problem with using such libraries is that they can only be used
when the encoding of the input matches the one the library uses. The
object of using locales is to remove such dependencies...
