Thank you very much!! Your mail is the first message I have got. > I see that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is working on > > "Fix/Complete the Big5 conversion modules.

This is the character set handling module (i.e., the iconv/gconv module, see the article written by me and Platin I sent to you), which will be related to zh_TW.Big5 locale, but it do different things. I would be very glad to learn this news. Although we still have to work on our locale data and help to test. [deleted ....] > Now a word about the changes: > > * the db and db2 code is gone.

Hmmm .... xcin-2.5/libtabe need Berkeley DB2 library. If it has been removed from the standard glibc (in glibc-2.1.x it is the standard), it means that to install xcin-2.5/libtabe we need to install Berkeley DB2 first. [deleted ....] I will been to test it in 2 or 3 days, depending on how fast I can fix all (maybe the all the most serious) bugs in xcin-2.5.2-preX. Recently many users have complained that xcin-2.5 behaved very strange under KDE environment, so I also need to compile a completed KDE environment for testing.
