IIRC, the only patches in CFE deal with Big5 filenames in FAT32 and Joliet fs. These includes Unicode<->Big5 tables, and filename conversion patches. ycheng <ycheng@freebsd.sinica.edu.tw> has some alternative ideas in libc level. They can be found at http://freebsd.sinica.edu.tw/mail-list_archie/, Big5 mails though. > Regarding the kernel patch for 16-bit, I will > *attempt* to make a clean modification for FFS > as my senior project.

Maybe you should do that in VFS layer. :) > Much of the CFE is already in /usr/ports/chinese/*. > -TW has an "outta-port" that provides beta-level > ports for /usr/ports/chinese.
