Subject: extended character sets

Hello all,

The ANSI C standard includes the type "wchar_t" which is
a character type intended to be large enough to hold the 
extended character sets which may be required by local 
convention. EPICS is now using C type "char" (an 8 bit 
character) to store process variable name character strings. 
Is this perceived as a potential limitation at any of the 
EPICS sites? Should we consider support for extended character 
sets in future versions of EPICS?

Jeff
