Thanks.

I have the following problem with wchar_t.

===============
Windows 2000
DJGPP 2.03
gcc/gpp version 3.1
===============


========= C++ code : BEGIN =========
// File ttt.cpp

#include <wchar.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
#define TEST_VALUE 65

char c_value = TEST_VALUE;
wchar_t wc_value = TEST_VALUE;

  cout << c_value << endl;
  cout << wc_value << endl;

  return 0;
}

========= C++ code : END ===========


========= Compilation & Run : BEGIN =========

%gpp ttt.cpp

A
65    // ???

========= Compilation & Run : END ===========


How can we print wchar_t value ?
