(5) boost.stringify aims (todo) to support translation from utf-8 to utf-16 and vice-versa, and other encodings. For example:

boost::stringify::write_to(destination) ("aaa", u"bbb", U"ccc", L"ddd");

will work regardless of the destination character type.

You might want to hold of on doing this untill Boost.Nowide has crystalised completely and depend on that, as there are a number of thorny issues (see recent mailing list postings, (warning: many!)) regarding this on Windows. Boost.Nowide should/will provide the concensus solution to this conversion/problem.

Thanks for the advice. I will wait and follow the consensus to Boost.Nowide, and study this subject carefully. Robhz
