Re: Converting cchar_t to wchar_t

[Bryan Christ]

That makes sense.  I think A_ALTCHARSET is now giving me problems and I might give your approach a shot.

In my code, after calling getcchar, I have the following line, which
may be relevant, that helps disambiguate attributes from color params.

  /* Strip the color info from attr */
  attr &= A_ATTRIBUTES ^ A_COLOR;

When reassembling using setcchar, you don't need any of this, I believe.
