Re: UTF-8 and some issues...

Hi again,
I am back with some news and some new questions...

First,

Now I can see more clearly the whole issue and I think
that in a couple of months it could be feasible, even
less if somebody is to join me on this effort!

I downloaded utf8cpp (the library in the article
someone mentioned), but it is just for utf8 and it
does not work with wchar_t types (which is what I
need). I think I will do a string class on my own that
works just like the string class, but with wchar_t
instead of char as a type. This way we could handle
not only utf-8, but most (if not all) wide-character
encodings.

My next major issue is the following: how do you
recognise, for example, a ctrl-x key combination from
a normal x?
Searching for an answer I could only understand that
from ctrl-a to ctrl-z translate to ascii 01 through 26
and that from alt-q to alt-m translate in a 0016
through 0050 sequence of characters. I also found that

It's a long I looked on ncursesw. As I remember, in the source code tar
ball is subdirectory with examples. Some of them do excercise with
ncursesw (e.g. ins_wide).

Found them, thanks.
I'm studying that now ;)

IRC and CTCP

List Members - 

I am a big fan of centerICQ, and I use it as my main IM client.  I would
also like to use it as my IRC client, but cICQ does not play nicely with
the IRC network that I typically use (irc.sorcery.net).  I was looking
into the policies of the network and of them is that they request a CTCP
VERSION from all connecting clients.  I am guessing that the reason why
I can't connect to this network is because cICQ does not respond to the
request.  Is there something that I can enable with cICQ to get it to
answer to this request?

Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.

James

Currently (version 4.21.0) reply's with that version number when a "/ctcp
<nick> version" is done to that client.
But maybe it does not handle an other request. I think I have heard of
something like that, but don't recall what is was exactly 

You might want to to a tcpdump with an other client that can connect to
your irc network and then again with centericq and see what the
differences are.

Needed help to clarify some functions

Hi all,
I am going on with my work to make centericq
compatible with wide-character encodings, but I am
really slowed down by some "dark corners" in the code
which are really hard to understand without any
documentation. These are the things I am having
difficulties to understand:

File: kkconsui/include/texteditor.h
struct editfile
What do they mean exactly x, y, sx and sy?

class texteditor
What is the meaning of the properties outx and abscol?
What is the purpose of the mark related functions?
(startmark(), copymark(), endmark()...) What is the
final effect on the program? How can I test changes in
those functions?
Same question about highlight related functions...
Can somebody explain me briefly what is the function
showline supposed to do? (it is quite large and it is
taking me quite a long time to understand it...)

I would be grateful if anyone could help me with these
small issues, pointers to documentation I may have
overlooked are welcome.

One more question, is there any reason why such large
use of char pointer is made instead of using the
string class? I could not understand if it was by some

I cannot help you with your other problems, but with the package ;)
[1] is always a good point to start searching packages... For dapper,
the package is within the universe repository. You have to add this repo
to your source.lst. See [2] how to do this.
