Japanese proposal for LC_CTYPE extension [Open] N657 and N664 refer. N657 is an expert contribution from Denmark, N664 is not an official US response - it comes direct from the .2b group. The issue remains Open. Don Cragun asked for clarification of the Japanese proposal: does it require just character-to-character translation, or character-to-string, which is a much larger problem? Action on KS to provide details of existing implementations of the proposal in N657 by 15- June. Further action on KS to respond to the queries raised in N664 by 1-July for consideration by the .2b DB. KS offered to discuss the details of the problem off-line with SW and DonC. _____________________________________________________________ ...the actions mentioned above appeared as follows: the date of June-15 was specified so as to allow the relevant people in the IEEE Development Group to consider the proposal and get up to speed before the IEEE PASC meeting; I'd be interested to read Keld's input here... cheers, Dave 9605-23 Keld Simonsen - supply a table of information about research and products that support the functionality the of LC_TRANS extension to the IEEE 1003.2 working group by June 15. 9605-24 Japan and Denmark - provide responses to the issues raised in N664 and submit to the IEEE 1003.2 working group by July 1 for consideration at the July PASC meeting in Nashua, NH. -- _________________________________________________________________________ David Cannon University of Exeter, IT Services Laver Building, North Park Road Systems/Network Programmer Exeter, EX4 4QE, Devon, UK Phone: +44 (0)1392 263939 Fax: +44 (0)1392 211630 _________________________________________________________________________
