I got it to work now.  I thought that there was no "wchar_t" version of the
"std::ungetc" function, so I made a strange workaround in my "underflow"
method using "std::fseek" with to backup the stream to counter "std::fgetc".
I discovered that there was a "std::ungetwc", and corrected the policy
classes and removed the workaround.  (My compiler's help file about the C
library isn't as comprehensive as it thinks it is.)
