I've started to add it to the wiki's Patch Page. This will avoid library clutter while ensuring folks who need it can access it. The wiki page for the classes is located at: * https://www.cryptopp.com/wiki/Protected_Storage_Pack One check-in for the library was performed to help accommodate Protected_Storage_Pack. The check-in was StringWiden function to convert a narrow string to a wide string using C/C++'s mbstowcs functions. It promotes "thing just work" by ensuring users *don't* have to patch the Crypto++ library. The check-in of interest is: * https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/commit/c90a63196a148478b624e7a1e6d7a5910d57c96f Jeff -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Crypto++ Users" Google Group.
