Hi Every Unicode Expert,
I am new in conducting Unicode conversion.
Here is my environment:
SunOS 5.8 (Solaris)
Sun Forte 6 Update 2 C++ compiler;
RogueWave 9 Update 1;
Sybase 12.5. Table fields are set to univarchar.
In my existing C++ source code, string class be used allover
the place.
I need porting the big project to using Unicode 5.0.
So, I need more advice for the following issues:
1. Is RogueWave 9 Update 1 is the right version who support to read
Sybase table field (univarchar). My previous version could not read
It, new version not installed yet.
2. How do I replace string class, by using RWCString or other better
Class?
3. Any testing tool can be used to check entire source code for
potential
problem such as character array floating,
big endian and etc.. things.
4. Do I need to set system/environment char set to be able to view the
Print out of Unicode.
Above is what it comes to my mind so far, it may come out
more questions.
Please let me know your expertise solution for C++ Unicode
conversion.
Thanks advance.
John

MAIL LIST RULES AND ETIQUETTE
Basic information about the mail list is at this link:
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/consortium/distlist.html
<http://www.unicode.org/unicode/consortium/distlist.html>
Our detailed mail list polices are set forth at this link:
http://www.unicode.org/policies/mail_policy.html
<http://www.unicode.org/policies/mail_policy.html>
Please READ these policies carefully. Participation in any
of the
Unicode Consortium's public-access mail lists requires
adherence
to the rules and etiquette set forth on that policy page.
It is usually not necessary to quote very extensively from
messages that
previously appeared on the mail list -- our subscribers have
seen those
messages. Short, pertinent quotes will focus your discussion
and help
reduce the overall volume of list traffic. Traffic reduction
will help
subscribers who pay for disk storage or data transmission,
or who are on
slower connections. Hundreds of our subscribers are on
slower connections
and do not appreciate large attachments and excessively long
quotes from
previous messages.
The list of subscribers is not available, so please don't
ask for it.

** Ecartis HELP FILE **
TO GET A LIST OF LISTS:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
with a subject
of "lists". A list of lists hosted by the server
will be returned
to you.
TO SUBSCRIBE TO A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
(you can just
reply to this message). In the subject field, enter
"subscribe
[listname]". Or, you can send a message to
"[listname]-request"
with a subject of "subscribe".
TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
(you can just
reply to this message). Enter "unsubscribe
[listname]" in the
subject field. You can also send a message to
"[listname]-request" with a subject of
"unsubscribe".
While you should NOT send your unsubscribe command
to the list
itself, Listar will attempt to trap such erroneous
postings and
forward them to the list administrators for proper
handling.
TO GET A DIGEST EVERY DAY:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
with a subject
of "set [listname] digest". This will turn on
digests, and you
will receive a digest however often the server is
configured to
send them.
TO STOP GETTING A DIGEST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
with a subject
of "unset [listname] digest". This will turn off
digest mode, and
instead you will receive an eMail every time
something is posted
to the list.
TO GET A DIGEST AND NORMAL POSTS:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
with a subject
of "set [listname] digest2". This will activate
digest mode with
normal posting. As each message is posted to the
list it will be
sent to you, and you will receive a digest as well.
This flag
should be used INSTEAD of digest, NOT IN ADDITION
TO.
To stop receiving digests in addition to normal
posts, send a
message to the ecartis account with a subject of
"unset [listname]
digest2". You will go back to receiving normal
posts.
TO GO ON VACATION:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
with a subject of
"set [listname] vacation". You will remain
subscribed to the list
but will not receive any eMail as long as this flag
is set. To
come back from vacation, eMail the ecartis account
with a subject of
"unset [listname] vacation".
TO CHECK ON YOUR OWN STATUS:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
with a subject
of "stats [listname]". You will get a list of all
the flags
currently set on your account.
TO GET A LIST OF FLAGS AVAILABLE:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
with a subject
of "flags". An eMail will be sent to you with the
available flags
that you can set on your account.
TO GET A LIST OF COMMANDS AVAILABLE:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
with a subject
of "commands". An eMail will be sent to you with
all the commands
that the server and any installed modules offer.
