<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Franck,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>WinCE systems are Unicode only.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You can process <EM>char, char*, char&</EM> and
<EM>char[] </EM>types as usual, but any string transfer with the
system ( file names, error messages etc..) is Unicode.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many places in GDAL code embed such strings.
All these <EM>char*</EM> or <EM>char[]</EM> should be changed to <EM>TCHAR
(</EM> a macro that expands to <EM>wchar_t</EM> if Unicode is enabled ) ,
without touching the real <EM>char</EM> type used in the formats. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By the way, Unicode enabling GDAL is a
very good idea : if coupled with grouping of all message strings and hard-coded
names in some resource location, it would open the possibility for non english
speakers to use GDAL !</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But if it is on your TODO list, I am afraid it
gets a very bad scoring.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for all anyway.</FONT></DIV>
