[comp.windows.x.motif] using 8 bit character strings

brennan@rtp.dg.com (Dave Brennan) (08/01/90)

Is there a way to create compound strings with 8 bit characters (ie: high
bit set).  I tried putting 8 bit characters in both the resource file and
in C code but neither worked.  I'm interested in this for foreign language
support.  Thanks...

I got this to work.  I accidently entered the numbers in the wrong base in
my editor...
