Well none of my Win32 changes were ever committed.
I'm
not sure why. Since my last submission the Encoding
Manager has changed a little and mine needs changing
to
match it. I've been dragged away from Open Source for
a little paid work and a little vacation so I'm not
working on it for a week or two more sorry.
I did have all locales working as far as I could tell
at that time - including the new Win2000 Unicode
locales. IME input was also working on pre-Windows
2000 and on 2000 for the native language but not for
other languages. I found the solution to this problem
and had only the implementation to finish before I put
AbiWord on the back burner.
Having said that, the diffs I posted should pretty
much work though a new Win32EncodingManager is
probably needed.
Looking forward to resuming this work. Good luck.
Andrew.
