Re: I plan to add GBK support for GNU emacs

Thanks for your suggestion, but there are larger differences
between the encoding system of Emacs/Mule and other softwares such
as unicon and cxterm, etc, IMHO.
I have managed to solve the GBK support problem in Emacs21, after 10
days' hacking.
My scheme has great advantage that, users need not to patch their
existing emacsen or do recompiling.
Users get GBK support for emacs by installing a package purely
written in Emacs Lisp(with the main part in CCL codes). (Ya, I have
made a scratch deb for it). Where CCL stands for Code Conversion
Language(A subsystem of EMACS/MULE).
But it was not perfect, till now.
Many things to do for completing it:
[1] Support for Xemacs and GNU emacs 20.
[2] GBK <--> Other encoding conversion.
[3] Docs.
[4] Not a part this project, but it is necessary that
We need a FREE GBK font!!!
As least, I can edit files with GBK characters,
display GBK chars, save files with GBK encoding.
I can't input chinese with GBK encoding with input and
X selection, because I haven't written a fuction to do
GBK <--> GB2312 conversion :(
But my can input Chinese with an input methed (the dict is converted
from UCDOS PINYIN) based on Quail.
(Quail is a subsystem of Emacs/Mule.)
Also I have

But you can get tarball of Emacs21.0.104 from
ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/.notready/
emacs.xdelta 818 Kb Sat Sep 1 08:14:00 2001
emacs.xtar.gz 19793 Kb Sat Sep 1 08:22:00 2001
It seems that emacs21.0.104 will be the last release of pretest,
before emacs21.1 release. :(
I found http://www.m17n.org/mule-archive/ is good place for users
of emacs/mule.
Best Wish
