Japanese users use eucJP, SJIS and ISO2022-JP at the same time. Because most of Japanese utility automaticaly convert the encodings. # For example, mule (Multilingual Emacs) can display eucJP, SJIS, #and ISO2022-JP encoding document at the same time on the same window. > So, we need a way of allowing the admin to install documentation in two > formats. So, It is NEEDLESS at all. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Motoyuki Konno mkonno@res.yamanashi-med.ac.jp (Univ) motoyuki@snipe.rim.or.jp (Home) motoyuki@FreeBSD.ORG (FreeBSD Project) Yamanashi Medical University http://www.freebsd.org/~motoyuki/ (WWW) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
