Johnathan,
The problem is really that I haven't finished writing the components that make this easy. <
Do you have an ETA on these components?
If the library is accepted, they'll definitely be in the first release. The problem is that I thought of them rather late. Originally a converter had its own internal narrow character chain. So usage was converter cvt(mylocale) cvt.push(cout); wfiltering_ostream out(cvt); out << L"Hello Wide World!\n"; Discussion on comp.std.c++ about the Dinkumware template wbuffer from the CoreX library convinced me that converter should be a lightweight resource adapter. Finally, it occurred to me that this adapter could be insterted automatically in a wide-character chain as soon as a narrow character component is added. I quickly wrote converting_stream and converting_streambuf, but ran out of time to test them. (I'm sure the current versions don't work yet.)
Regards,
George.
