Yeah, I thought of that but then I grepped through newlib and there seemed to be plenty of references to it. Then I added: namespace std { typedef std::basic_string <wchar_t> wstring; }; after the '#include <string>' above, fixed the typo to add a class name, and things compiled fine for me. So it seems to me like newlib is not the bottleneck for wide character support. Or did I miss something? -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
