I noticed that putclip/getclip have another problem. These utils assume the charset is always UTF-8, however, cygwin supports locales which charset is not UTF-8 (such as CP932, EUC-JP, CP850, CP1251, etc.). Therefore, what abount using mbstowcs/wcstombs rather than MultiByteToWideChar/WideCharToMultiByte like the patch attached? -- Takashi Yano <takashi.y...@nifty.ne.jp>
