Hello All,

I am doing the posix library for openbeos.
I am almost finished the memory.h, string.h
list (tip of the iceburg).

There are some PPC functions in the BEOS
headers that I need to be enlightened about.

memcpy_c2nc
memcpy_nc2c
memcpy_nc2nc
etc...
What is the description of the function for these?

Also, I am concerned regarding byte order for portability of the OS to other
systems. For strings it's not so bad because everything is 
done in char.

I am wondering if we want wide_char
functions. 

I also need a good tome on unicode and tokens 
for various machine types.

Should I put code in to handle different machine-word bit lengths or is that
important at this time?

Questions, questions. Any comments?

Peter
