These will work the same way as on regular Windows, DOS, Unix, whatever -- you just won't be able to print two-byte wchar_t characters using those functions.

 so what is a char or “blabla” in a Unicode environment


A char is a byte of memory -- the fact that it's a Unicode environment only means that it supports Unicode.  You'd write Unicode characters (e.g. accented 'a', Chinese characters, 'o' with a slash through it) using wchar_t.  You can verify this by running a program that does this:

printf("char is: %d bytes\n", sizeof(char));
printf("wchar_t is: %d bytes\n", sizeof(wchar_t));

If it comes back with something different from
char is: 1 bytes
on the first line, please let us know! :-)

Not sure I can help with 3 and 4 -- I'm not familiar enough with the environment.

Good luck!
