Hello! It is now possible to link mc against the patched version of S-Lang from Red Hat 8.0 without losing non-ASCII characters in the menu. For some reason, Red Hat S-Lang expects the argument to addch() to be a wide character (wchar_t), so I had to write a replacement to addch().
It is not UTF-8 support, not even a workaround for UTF-8 terminals and locales. It's merely a workaround for a bug in S-Lang, which changes the API, but doesn't change the function name and doesn't even provide a simpler way to use the old API. The current version of mc still only works correctly in non-UTF locales on non-UTF terminals. The only workaround for UTF-8 is to disable 8-bit output (Options->Display Bits->7 bits) and to use "stickchars" (mc -a). I'm not planning adding UTF-8 support. Those who want it should do it themselves. We are now just 9 TODO items away from 4.6.0-pre2. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
