   1  This directory contains binary encoding maps for some selected encodings.
   2  If they are placed in a directoy listed in @XML::Parser::Expat::Encoding_Path,
   3  then they are automaticly loaded by the XML::Parser::Expat::load_encoding
   4  function as needed. Otherwise you may load what you need directly by
   5  explicity calling this function.
   6  
   7  These maps were generated by a perl script that comes with the module
   8  XML::Encoding, compile_encoding, from XML formatted encoding maps that
   9  are distributed with that module. These XML encoding maps were generated
  10  in turn with a different script, domap, from mapping information contained
  11  on the Unicode version 2.0 CD-ROM. This CD-ROM comes with the Unicode
  12  Standard reference manual and can be ordered from the Unicode Consortium
  13  at http://www.unicode.org. The identical information is available on the
  14  internet at ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS.
  15  
  16  See the encoding.h header in the Expat sub-directory for a description of
  17  the structure of these files.

  24  Contributed maps
  25  
  26  This distribution contains four contributed encodings from MURATA Makoto
  27  <murata@apsdc.ksp.fujixerox.co.jp> that are variations on the encoding
  28  commonly called Shift_JIS:
  29  
  30  x-sjis-cp932.enc
  31  x-sjis-jdk117.enc
  32  x-sjis-jisx0221.enc
  33  x-sjis-unicode.enc	(This is the same encoding as the shift_jis.enc that
  34               was distributed with this module in version 2.17)
  35  
  36  Please read his message (Japanese_Encodings.msg) about why these are here
  37  and why I've removed the shift_jis.enc encoding.
  38  
  39  We also have two contributed encodings that are variations of the EUC-JP
  40  encoding from Yoshida Masato <yoshidam@inse.co.jp>:
  41  
  42  x-euc-jp-jisx0221.enc
  43  x-euc-jp-unicode.enc
  44  
  45  The comments that MURATA Makoto made in his message apply to these
  46  encodings too.
  47  
  48  KangChan Lee <dolphin@comeng.chungnam.ac.kr> supplied the euc-kr encoding.
