Bernd did the UTF-8 encoding and support stuff and, I did the xchars interface (a generalized interface for dealing with both fixed-width and variable-width character encodings). What is still missing is the conversion on file I/O; the idea is to convert to the internal encoding on input and back to the external encoding on output, so that the program would have to deal with only one encoding in memory (through the xchars interface) rather than having to keep track of which bits in memory are in which encoding. If you are interested in playing with this stuff, I can make a snapshot. If you are interested in contributing, it's probably best to mail me about an account on our CVS server. - anton --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
