I just switched my application to unicode by specifying the=0D
"-D UNICODE" and "-D _UNICODE" compiler options.=0D
=0D
But the STL string class refused to accept that. Though=0D
it uses the "charT" type.=0D
=0D
Any pointers how to switch it to unicode?=0D

=3D=3D> Try using wchar_t *built in* type which is also portable. And for=
 string
use basic_string<wchar_t>.=0D
=0D
For example:=0D
=0D
// L in front converts a regular string to wchar_t.=0D
basic_string<wchar_t> s=3DL"Something";=0D
=0D

The string type is nothing else than:=0D
=0D
typedef basic_string<char> string;=0D

For wide character sets, wchar_t is your type and where UNICODE is suppor=
ted
 it usually is UNICODE.=0D

Unfortunately (& strangely) i have the impression that MINGW does not
provide wcout, so in this case you will have to use the C-subset wprintf(=
)
in the style:=0D
=0D
wprintf(L"%s\n", s);=0D

Try being as much portable as possible. In this way you will have fewer
incompatibilities with other compilers or even next releases of your
compiler.=0D
