Existing codebase like glibc only supports stateless multibyte char. People using iso-2022 variants (Japan, Korea, China, you name it) need stateful multibyte char support. We have some code fragment used in various software packages like multilingual vi or multilingual schedule management tool, and we would like to clean up those to fit into src/lib/whatever. I'll be talking about this issue a bit in my presentation at Usenix/ Freenix99 (titled "multilingual vi") so come to presentation room or catch me somewhere in the conference site. (again, there's language barrier problem... I think we should sort it out. I believe the best way is to ban Japanese-language mailing list for the project, but other volunteers may have some trouble) itojun@involved into too many projects To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
