I *think* that what Itojun has is David's code, plus some additional work. It would obviously be nice to get this in. Even if it is not complete, the longer we go without it the more likely someone is going to start from scratch because they won't be aware of the work which is already done but not committed. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-i18n" in the body of the message
