You completely misread my remark. I said that not dealing with wide character issues because they can be sent as bytes in a tcp stream would be the same as not implementing tcp at all because you can resort to ip. Why use TCP if IP provides everything you need? Because TCP is a standard way of doing a common kind of connection. Now, TCP goes _over_ IP. My question is similar to "how do I provide <tcp characteristics> over IP connections?" The answer would be "use tcp". Well, I'm asking how do I send wide characters over tcp connections? -- Daniel C. Sobral (8-DCS) Daniel_Sobral@voga.com.br Tagline: * FreeBSD. Earth.
