Re: form library and UTF-8

[TheLonelyStar]

True!

My locale:

> echo $LC_ALL
en_US.utf8

Using ncursesw, the demo_forms works perfectly now!
But I must admit it is complicated. I will need my time to work it through.

My own program still segfaults.
Maybe someone can give me a hint, my corrent form-loop looks like this:

while(!stop)
{
  int ch=getch();
  switch(ch)
  {
    //Some cases for handling keys like return, backspace and arrow keys
    default:
      form_driver(form, ch);
      break;
  }
}

Thanks!
