-.PP
 When configured for wide characters, \fBfield_buffer\fP returns a pointer

 The application should not attempt to modify the data.
 It will be freed on the next call to \fBfield_buffer\fP to return the
 same buffer.

 These routines emulate the System V forms library.
 They were not supported on
