ICU doesn't need to be all that large. By default, it builds everything, and encodes the data it needs into an object file, so it is pretty large. But you can cut that down to just the items you actually need. If all you need is case-folding, then the footprint is going to be a lot smaller. Of course, if you're using the ICU libraries provided with your system, you'll be getting it essentially for free. -scott ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
