Hello, Once I had written something called "nowide" http://art-blog.no-ip.info/files/nowide.zip See, this as well: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/205699 A simple library that does this "in-other-way" i.e. allows to call fopen under windows with UTF-8 string rather then using wide string as on all "normal" platforms. So basically you need to use boost::nowide::fopen with normal utf-8 encoded strings (under windows) or current locale (normally utf-8) under all other platforms. And I would **strongly** recommend never use so called "wide" strings in portable applications. They are very inconsistent (as for UNIXes it us UTF-32 and under Windows they UTF-16) and usually quite useless as wide characters has very few added value over UTF-8 string. And when working with Windows I would recommend converting UTF-8 to Wide string just before passing them to OS functions (like _wfopen for example). Artyom ----- Original Message ----

Hi there, one of the requirements for me to fix before I include io_new to boost is to support opening files with unicode filenames. As far as I can see there is _wfopen on Windows platforms. What's the one for Linux and co?
I'm a bit puzzled that no boost lib seems to use _wfopen. I searched all files. Is there something better?
