(a) The latest beta of Keyman 5 implements Unicode support in RichEdit 3.0 under
Windows 95/98, so you shouldn't need the as-yet-unreleased RichEdit 4. I understand
that RichEdit 4 will be released with Office XP, but will probably not be
redistributable outside of that.
(b) Yes, assuming the application can cope with the Unicode characters in the data.
Most probably would, but I haven't tested any specifically other than WordPad.
(c) As far as I am aware, no applications on the market today support WM_UNICHAR. I
have implemented support for Unicode input into MS Word 97/2000, and RichEdit
controls, both via WM_UNICHAR hacks.
Hope this helps.
