I have patch the locale part of libc in 2.2.5 stable, the patches are at: http://waru.life.nthu.edu.tw/~frankch/locale/ What I have done, is to add BIG5 rune encoding support. I also add zh_TW.BIG5 to the data of mklocale. I am not very sure about the codes. Perhaps someone would like to check this and make some comments? After what I have done, I found that there aren't much of the programs localized. We have xpg4 stuff in FreeBSD, but only a few programs (is there any?) have utilized that code. Is there any plan to make FreeBSD utilize more the xpg4 code? Currently I am not on this list. Perhaps you would be kindly put me in the CC (if there's any reply?) P.S. for those who may have question. BIG5 is a Chinese encoding (also a charset) widely used in Taiwan and HongKong. -- Frank Chen Hsiung Chan [¸âÂíºµ](BIG5) Department of Life Science http://waru.life.nthu.edu.tw/~frankch/ National Tsing Hua University email: frankch@waru.life.nthu.edu.tw Taiwan
