My experience with wchar and # NLS library functions is limited to what motif and CDE requires to build. # I would be most interested in working with you to get a complete set of # everything done. I will post a beta version of my work shortly (including # man pages :). Great! Adam and I spoke about this in private mail at some length before he made his orginal post. He (nor do I) has any intention of duplicating any of your work. We are here to help with what you and John Fieber have already started. We all want to see wchar support make it into FreeBSD. Adam has offered to help with the coding. Just for the record I'd like to help too, but I'm not as strong at this stuff as the rest of you. I do have commit privs so I'm sure I can help get it into the distribution at least. :) Would anyone besides me (and Adam whom I've already talked about this) think it wise to have jmb setup a mailing list for posts specific to i18n and l10n? I'd be glad to send him a request if there was enough interest. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
