PCMan X with UAO and shift encoding

[Yu-Chun Wang]

Hi, everyone.

I have merged the UAO (Unicode-add-on, Unicode補完計畫) conversion table
for BIG-5 encoding into PCMan X based on version 0.3.7. UAO is widely-
used in Taiwan BBS systems.

Besides, I also modified PCMan X to support shift encoding in BIG-5.
Due to the request of the Korean bulletin board at PTT (telnet://
ptt.cc), I added a module to recognize the pre-defined control
sequences to change the encoding internally from BIG-5 to EUC-KR or
backward. It makes the Chinese BIG-5 strings and Korean EUC-KR strings
can be shown on the same screen.

You can download the source code at here.

jserv made some patch files for me.
http://jserv.sayya.org/tmp/pcmanx-gtk2-mls-support.patch
http://jserv.sayya.org/tmp/pcmanx-gtk2-mls-support-table.tar.bz2

I hope there are some people can help me merge my modification into
SVN main branch.

Best regards,

So, did you make new progress within the two months? I would like to
check in my modifications adapting your essential work first, and then
you can rebase the UAO specific development later. How do you think?

Thanks,

Due to the lack of time, I have not made any modification in this two
months.
Thanks for your help to adopt my modification.
Please go ahead and I will try to make more contribution after I
finish my thesis.
