Yes that's correct, but I changed the type of var 'code' to a wchar_t which is 
what %lc is for. That just happens to be an int on many platforms but not all 
so to use it fully would require the cross platform usage of wchar_t. There 
are lots of resources on how to go about this from what I could see when I 
was playing with the code ;)

Sure thing; I said you would probably need to do that when I posted the patch.

Thanks, hope it helps direct your own efforts.
