Actually, these encodings are mainstream in multi-byte encodings world. A proper iconv-awared implementation should be able to handle all of the encodings in `iconv -l`; 2. It depends on DB3/4. We won't accept DB3/4 in base system and we won't accept nvi-devel. 3. It's not 100% compatible with nvi 1.79. -- Zhihao Yuan The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
