I'm trying to introduce the i18n APIs standardized by ISO C or Single UNIX Specification into the Cygwin DLL. Most of them can be emulated by corresponding Win32 APIs, so it doesn't need a massive effort. I have already implemented APIs standardized by ISO C except for strftime() and most part of the extensions of Amendment 1. But I have not merged them into the development source of the Cygwin DLL yet. I'm going to do so when I finish to implement strftime(). The i18n APIs in Windows doesn't know how to represent a time nor a date along with a time in the proper format of the current locale. So implementing strftime() has a rough passage. iconv? It's future work. ____ | AIST Kazuhiro Fujieda | HOKURIKU School of Information Science o_/ 1990 Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
