Dear list,

Before 1.8.8  it was quite easy to extend H5FDwindows.c (windows vfd) to cope 
with Unicode by using the wopen/w_char API for IO access on Windows OS'.
With 1.8.8. the windows driver was reduced to be a wrapper for the H5FD_SEC2 
driver.
My question is what is the best way to come back to  Unicode Windows support 
for file access? H5FDstdio is not recommended for productive use but could be 
extended similar to H5FDwindows.c in the early versions. Re-animating the the 
full H5FDwindows seems to be against the development of the drivers, right?
I found some discussion on this topic on this list dating the year 2009 but no 
conclusions.

Any ideas, help or pointers to some more info is highly appreciated.

Best regards,
Felix Gorny
