Otherwise you may load what you need directly by +explicity calling this function. + +These maps were generated by a perl script that comes with the module +XML::Encoding, compile_encoding, from XML formatted encoding maps that +are distributed with that module. These XML encoding maps were generated +in turn with a different script, domap, from mapping information contained +on the Unicode version 2.0 CD-ROM. This CD-ROM comes with the Unicode +Standard reference manual and can be ordered from the Unicode Consortium +at http://www.unicode.org. The identical information is available on the +internet at ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS. + +See the encoding.h header in the Expat sub-directory for a description of +the structure of these files. + +Clark Cooper +December 12, 1998 + +================================================================ + +Contributed maps + +This distribution contains four contributed encodings from MURATA Makoto +<murata@apsdc.ksp.fujixerox.co.jp> that are variations on the encoding +commonly called Shift_JIS: + +x-sjis-cp932.enc +x-sjis-jdk117.enc +x-sjis-jisx0221.enc +x-sjis-unicode.enc (This is the same encoding as the shift_jis.enc that + was distributed with this module in version 2.17) + +Please read his message (Japanese_Encodings.msg) about why these are here +and why I've removed the shift_jis.enc encoding. + +We also have two contributed encodings that are variations of the EUC-JP +encoding from Yoshida Masato <yoshidam@inse.co.jp>: + +x-euc-jp-jisx0221.enc +x-euc-jp-unicode.enc + +The comments that MURATA Makoto made in his message apply to these +encodings too. + +KangChan Lee <dolphin@comeng.chungnam.ac.kr> supplied the euc-kr encoding. + +Clark Cooper +December 26, 1998 |
