This subdirectory contains a general character-set conversion
|
|
|
|
|
library, used in the Unix port of PuTTY, and available for use in
|
|
|
|
|
other ports if it should happen to be useful.

This is a variant of a library that's currently used in some other
|
|
|
|
|
programs such as Timber and Halibut. At some future date, we would
|
|
|
|
|
like to merge the two libraries, so that all programs use the same
|
|
|
|
|
libcharset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is therefore a _strong_ design goal that this library should remain
|
|
|
|
|
perfectly general, and not tied to particulars of PuTTY. It must not
|
|
|
|
|
reference any code outside its own subdirectory; it should not have
|
|
|
|
|
PuTTY-specific helper routines added to it unless they can be
|
|
|
|
|
documented in a general manner which might make them useful in other
|
|
|
|
|
circumstances as well.
