Hi,

  I'm new to this whole Unicode deal, and I would like to know
how other people deal with internationalization of programs.  I know the
C string library does not work on unicode, or "wide characters."
I am programming in C/C++, and working on an SGI under UNIX...


can any one help? or at least point me in the right direction?

There is an article in the September 1997 issue of C/C++ Users Journal:
Internationalization Using Standard C++ by Angelika Langer and
Klaus Kreft.  Page 57.
