GNU/Denemo has a number of guile scripts in which wide characters are
embedded in strings. These used to work in guile 1.8 but with guile 2.0
I am seeing the following error message trying to use a string with "
"
in it (if that string will get through the email software)
(format #t "~%=> ~A~%""

Thank you for your reply. I didn't try altering anything in the program,
because this problem has arisen when changing from guile-1.8 to
guile-2.0 and so I am hoping it is an understood problem.
FWIW I see that the following code is executed at Denemo program startup
setlocale (LC_ALL, "");

I have been doing some experiments with the guile interpreter
guile --version
guile (GNU Guile) 2.0.5-deb+1-3
and it seems to understand the wide characters, using the unicode e176
character with the string "hello" attached I get this:
scheme@(guile-user)> (string-append " " "hello")
$1 = "

Recently I've had a little more time to experiment
with guile-2.0 on mingw32. Following the advice of
Eli Zaretskii from
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2013-06/msg00028.html,
I compiled guile-2.0.9 without thread support,
and modified my demos so they no longer use theads
explicitly (

This compilation process includes compiling all the Scheme files that
come with Guile. Si
