AFAIK, Big5 means a coding system only for traditional Chinese widely used in Taiwan and Hong-Kong. EUC-jp (Japanese), EUC-kr (Korean), and Big5 (Traditional Chinese) occupies almost similar area in 16bit space. Our code can handle these three coding systems and maybe GBK (Simplified Chinese) coding system. I believe that our code also can handle ISO-8859-1 Latin charsets. I can prepare French, German, and many European boot.flp if there are translators for these languages. The messages and help/document files of 3.2-RELEASE have already been translated into Korean and are translating into Japanese. We need translator and maintainer of Chinese messages. >> 3.

As far as I know, differences between src/release of 3.2-RELEASE and it of 4.0-CURRENT are very small. -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi Assistant Manager Information Technology Center, Keio University To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
