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 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.

It's wonderful to see a fully functional L10N Netscape, especially more stable than running L10N Netscape under Linux. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
