 Hello, 
 
 I'm trying to add Asian language support to our application (on Solaris 2.x),
 and I discovered that the file limits.h (which resides in the directory
 /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2/2.4.5/include) contains the lines:
 
 /* No multibyte characters supported yet.  */
 #undef MB_LEN_MAX
 #define MB_LEN_MAX 1
 
 While in the original Sun-supplied /usr/include/limits.h it says:
 #define MB_LEN_MAX      5
 
 Can someone explain us what is the significance of this?
 Is it safe to simply modify the constant in the gcc limits.h and link to the
 Sun-supplied libraries (libc.a and libintl.a) which contain all the
 mutli-byte character functions? 
 
 
				Thanks in advance,

				Mark Zusman
