So, I will contribute the table. There shall be a few level for the operator to choose: 1. Simplified and Traditional variants, these are taken directly from the unihan.txt 2. Variants identified by CCCII, which can be extracted from the unihan.txt also 3. Meaning similar, which not identical variant form, but some very similar in usage or by mistake which would be useful for search propose only. This is done by manually lookup the dictionary and the character frequency table. 4. Numeric variants which maps all numeric characters to 1,2,3,... 5. Punctuation and full-sized alphabets. > > 4.

I work in a gov agency, my boss have no ideas about code and software. They fear of any different acts and responsabilities. Our contract prohabit us to do any part-time works even not for money. It is really difficult to get them to sign the paper required to let the code free. Rgs, Kent Sin _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
