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? The answer is just character-to-character translation. The current is* functions and to* functions do not support string. Much larger work is necessary if we go for character-to-string support. regards, Yoichi
