Hi
We are developing an add on to our software that needs to function in a
number of countries (where English is not the language of choice). We
don't as yet know what those countries are.
Our initial thought was to use Unicode however we have hit a number of
major issues with Unicode. As

Nice easy topic :-)
How big / how many screens you use on your development machine.
At work I have dual 17 lcds. Trying to pitch to the boss and third
screen, or getting dual 22s.
At home I have a widescreen 19 and 17 lcds. Thinking about going to
dual 22s.
Anyone here got three screens? (on
No.

Dual 20 widescreen lcds. Running at 1680 * 1050.
The widescreens are great while working in the IDE.
Great!
Would almost like a 3rd smaller screen for testing apps at smaller sizes
eg 1024 * 768 and 800*600.

If you like VSS but want to have a real db backend, you might want to
look at JEDI Version Control System http://jedivcs.sourceforge.net/, an
Open Source project.

We've just made the move from VSS to Subversion (with TortoiseSVN).

I have found non-English software a major pain. If you work with charsets
instead of Unicode, then various bits of software (eg MS Access) convert to
unicode. Charpage issues are pain and similarly there
have been hassles with MS updates on left-right right-left issues. I have

We are currently using Subversion but are moving now to Surround SCM
(http://www.seapine.com/surroundscm.html). Our uses are more for
binary files than source files so this was a bigger driver in the

than dual monitors. I have used a 24in monitor with my 15.4in laptop
before.
Hi Phil
Yes this is a big pain. We thought we would use Unicode but ran into
issues storing data into a non Unicode application. Are you saying your
database is Unicode but your controls are not? I didn't think this was
an option.

Yes, you can map the same file(s) into multiple work spaces (or
clientspecs in Perforce terms) to use them in multiple projects. It's a
different technique but it should
