In gcc, I CAN find the corresponding CONVERSION functions (e.g., mbstowcs, wcstombs, etc.) but I CANNOT find the BASIC wide string handling functions, i.e., wcout, wstrcat, etc. (nor wprintf, etc in the C library). I've tried building various different versions from source (2.95.3, 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2) and I've also downloaded the pre-built versions from the Sun freeware site but none of them seem to support these basic functions. I would be very grateful if someone could let me know if either: * these functions arent supported * I need to build/configure gcc some other way to get them * maybe they have some other slightly different name in gcc(?)
