#20004 - RE: 1 bit operation in C - Andy
"What are wide characters?"

If you look in Borland C++ Builder (probably Delphi also), and MSVC, you will read of "UniCode"
UniCode is used by Windows for Wide (16-bit)Characters; ie, each character in a string is 16 bits wide.
Obviously, this gives you much greater scope for international character sets as you're not restricted to an absolute maximum of only 256 different characters!
Also, the standard 'C' string functions (strcpy, strcmp, printf, etc, etc) will not work with wide characters - they have to be re-written for 16-bit wide characters!
