We had a program compiling under Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 that was running in different regions around the world and allowing users in their regions to open their files ok. This program deals at the char* level, working with strings encoded using local code pages.
The only way this approach could possibly work is if users only used file names that could be encoded in their default code page, which is simply not true a lot of the time. For example, I run under a Japanese locale, but I regularly deal with files with Chinese names or German names that cannot be represented in CP932, the Japanese code page under Windows. -- Rainer Deyke - rainerd@eldwood.com
