Thank you very much!! Your mail is the first message I have got.

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.

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.

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.
