i am trying the news in fwh, I'm trying to understand this topic (unicode) quite complex.
Pleae go ahead testing. As you go on you will find Unicode is not really complex. It is as simple as a normal ANSI program but has the capability to handle Unicode text. Well you need to keep in mind the behavior of GETs. That is the only difference.
Anyway i am interested to use im my programs languages like russian, rumenian, french.
For French, you do not need Unicode.
What I understand from you is that your application will be mostly an ANSI application with only a few modules / screens handling Unicode text. Am I right?
We provided the Unicode feature for an application that mostly deals with Unicode text and occassionally deals with ANSI text. For this reason, all Gets default to Unicode.
In your case (and similar applications) probably it is more convenient if the Gets default to ANSI and only where you need Unicode input, you can specifically enable by specifying CHRGRP CHR_ANY / CHR_WIDE.
We shall provide a global switch for this in our next version.
