Subject: Multilingual X11R5 binary installation packages Release 3.0

Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology

Full Multi-lingual X11R5 binary packages are available at ftp.waseda.ac.jp.

The packages are for SUN/OS 4.1.3 and, Solaris 2.1 and later.  Version
number of the packages is Release 3.0 (not beta!!!).  The packages were
provided by Multi-lingual I/O and Text Manipulation Project at Waseda
University in order to keep evenness of languages and progress of
computerbility/interoperability.  Principal reseacher of the project is
one of the designers of X11R5 Internationalization.  The X11R5 system in
the packages can handle European Languages, Chinese, Japanese and
Korean, and of cource all different keyboards corresponding to those
languages are supported.  The packages have been debugged and optimized
than original, and tested over 6 months by sites that multi-lingual is
essential and is daily job -- i.e. lots of universies and companies
tested the packages and they do need multi-lingual environment beyond
locale model.  In Solaris version, all source codes were modified to use
only SVR4, thus there are no dependencies to GNU CC, BSD compatibility
libs and OpenWindow.  And the pakcages have no dependency to Locale
sensitive functions in OS.

NEW:
    Xserver: All keyboard types support for multi-lingaul. (see below)
    More optimized than before.
    Xwnmo can run correctly under tvtwm.
    All commands can run under tvtwm.
    New and latest commands were installed.
    PEX 5.1 support.
    libXaw.* automatically loads libXwchar.* (not necessary -lXwchar)
    libXwchar.so support.

Patch level: fix-26 (no security holes)
CPU:  Sparc    SUN/OS 4.1.3
              Solaris 2.1 and later
CC:   Native CC for SUN/OS 4.1.3
      SUNPro CC for Solaris 2.1
        (No dependencies to GNU CC, BSD compatibility libs and OpenWindow)

---------- Note
Categories of X11R5s with different Compile Switches:

  X11R5 can be compiled differently by specifying compile time
switches in mit/config/site.def.  There are three categories of X11R5
as follows:

1) NO Compile Switch
   locale model using of OS locale functions.
     Compiled R5 depends on OS locale functions, and is restricted by
     OS.  In this case, length of wchar_t follows the OS's wchar_t.
     Users can use locales that vendor provided -- usually only C
     locale and one.  Usually one local/system.
2) -DX_WCHAR and -DX_LOCALE
   locale model using of locale emuration functions in X11R5 with
     wchar_t defined in X11R5 itself.  Compiled R5 is independent from
     OS's locale functions and OS's wchar_t.  Users can use any
     locales that defined in X11R5.  Users can call the X11R5's locale
     emulation functions and text manipulation functions.  And users
     can add locales by their specification.  Of course codeset for
     communication can be selected by users.  Mixing multiple
     languages by wr_WR.ct is accepted.  But dynamic locale change in
     an application after the application is invoked is not
     acceptable.  locale/application.
3) -DX_WCHAR, -DX_LOCALE and -DXML
   locale model with X11R5 functions but resettable locale ability
     Adding to 2), application can change locale dynamically any time
     after the application is invoked.  This is the real multi-lingual
     X11R5 that we designed.  This X11R5 permits you to leave from
     limitations of locale model.

Our packages are 3).  At Waseda university, a lot of students came from
many countries.  For us, category 3 is essential.  As an achievement
of Multi-lingual I/O project, we will update this package and add new
languages.
