Well, isn't wchar_t 32-bits on most architectures (36 on pdp10)? :-)
Also, are the attributes stored in-line with the caracters, or in a=20
separate array? i.e. do we have struct charinfo {wchar_t char, attr}=20
screensworth[x*y]; or do we have wchar_t chars[x*y], attrs[x*y]. If we=20
have the former, it's better to just use whatever size is used for the=20
characters.
Take care,
Bill
