Thanks for this info.  I didn't realise any character set had more than
65536 characters.

The SUS spec says : 

  chtype contains a character, attributes  and a colour-pair

so, I have used the bottom 16 bits for the character and the top 16 for
the attribute flags.  I was hoping that I'd be able to share the attribute
flags between `normal' and wide characters.  It's not a major problem if not
though.

So, any preference for the type for wchar_t, chtype and attr_t?

Thanks,

J
