Firstly, thanks for your help! Just went through the page. It seems that I have to recompile the tcl source package. Are there any other ways without recompiling tcl? (I am using tcl-8.3.3) Actually, I have a simple program IRC client written in tcl and wish. I want to modify it so that the Chinese can be used to chat. > ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/lang/tcl/jp/tcltk8.3.1i18n.patch.tar.gz > > But this patch is for tcl/tk 8.3.1 only, so not sure if it works on > any later versions. Besides, this patch is undocumented. Thanks! I will go to try it after solving the display problem. > PS I haven't checked the status of i18n support in tcl/tk 8.3.4 or > 8.4.0 alpha. Inside unix/tclUnixInit.c of tcl-8.3.4, For chinese, the locale table only has the following entry: {"zh", "cp936"}, Should I add the following and recompile it: {"zh_CN", "euc-cn"}, {"zh_CN.gbk", "euc-cn"}, {"zh_CN.gb2312", "euc-cn"}, -- regards, ZM -- Sometimes it seems like we're all living in somekind of prison; and the crime is how much we hate ourselves.
