Hello

Surprisingly enough, C++ file-based streams can be opened with a char * 
string (for the filename) only, while modern computer systems have 
Unicode filenames. I see boost::iostreams::basic_file also gets 
constructed from a char * only.

My project name has Korean characters, and I work on a Latin1 Windows 
system, and on my system the narrow-characters set simply does not 
contain Korean characters.

Is there a (good) way to open a file with a wstring in boost ?

Thank you,
Timothy Madden
