[ANNOUNCE] Unicode support for 21.4 --with-mule

SY> Detailed Changes: SY> ================ SY> mule-ucs-1.00-pkg.tar.gz SY> ------------------------ SY> This is a new package! SY> From the TeXinfo: SY> Mule-UCS is a character code translator. It provides SY> functions to translate from any character set to any other, SY> and construct new coding systems easily. This means Unicode files and streams, folks. The whole shebang (of course, you may not have fonts for most of it, but that's not an XEmacs problem). Due to use of recent features of CCL and the desirable feature of UTF-8 coding autodetection, a 21.4 XEmacs with Mule is _required_. UTF-8 autodetection is not configured out of the box, but simple instructions are provided in the README and Info that come with the release. AFAIK UTF-16 autodetection is not native to XEmacs 21.4, but there are some primitive tools included in the package for that. This is a stopgap measure, until 21.5 has Ben's recent work on Unicode APIs merged in. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
