Hi all. I know ruby has some support for some Japanese encodings if you compile it in a special way. But are there any plans for a wider support for different encodings. I very much like the way you can just set an encoding on any io-stream in Tcl/Tk. This is especially handy for me who work in an environment with three different platforms, Macintosh, Windows and unix. -- Johan Dahl, Research Engineer Department of Linguistics and Phonetics, Lund University Address: Helgonabacken 12, 223 62 Lund, SWEDEN Tel: +46-(0)46-2228443 Fax: +46-(0)46-2224210 E-mail: mailto:Johan.Dahl / ling.lu.se WWW: http://www.ling.lu.se/persons/Johan/
