Just one subsidiary question about this ICU file: will there be support in ICU of charset name aliases used in Oracle? How can we be sure of the corresponding charset name aliases between Oracle, MIME, Java... I know that Oracle 8i and after implements a JDK-compilant Java VM, so this alias mapping should be easy to perform with Java aliases, no? I have the same questions for Sybase (is it the same as MS SQL, i.e. based on Windows codepages?) Could the ICU charsets converters support other well-known collections of charset names and aliases beside these ones: UTR22, ICU, IBM, JAVA, WINDOWS, GLIBC, AIX, DB2, SOLARIS, APPLE, HPUX, MIME, IANA, MSIE, ZOS_USS (MVS), ...? For example VMS collections, and other RDBMS engines like MSSQL, SYBASE, ORACLE, MYSQL (?) __________________________________________________________________ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed Spam messages and set aside Newsletters for me You can use it too - and it's FREE! http://www.ellaforspam.com
