Sounds like a good idea, but perhaps an even better idea would be to provide an alternate BIO_new_file() that takes a wchar_t*. It would call _wfopen() if supported by the compiler, and if not it would convert the wchar_t* to a char* using wcstombs() and call fopen(). > Please note that it's *not* like I disapprove practice of custom BIO and > suggest you to abandon it.

Cool, thanks :) Yeah, I was quite happy with myself that I happened to write a custom BIO just in time to avoid the whole applink mess, even though that's not even the reason I wrote it.
