 Archive-Name: auto/comp.std.internat/Updated-East-Asian-mapping-tables-available

 New tables providing mappings between Unicode and various East Asian
 character set standards are available by anonymous ftp from unicode.org.
 The new tables are in pub/MappingTables/EastAsia_maps.  They are:

 CJKXRef.text, an updated copy of the cross-reference table for Unihan.
 This table differs from the earlier table only in that the mappings to the
 Fujitsu corporate character set have been removed.

 GB2312 and KSC5601, complete tables mapping all of GB 2312 and KSC 5601 to
 Unicode, including both the ideographic and non-ideographic portions.

 Tables for JIS 0201, JIS 0208, JIS 0212 and Big Five will also be made
 available shortly.

 I am including below standard information on accessing data from
 unicode.org via anonymous ftp.

 =============================================================================

 The Unicode Consortium has on-line versions of some reports and mapping
 tables.  These can be obtained via "anonymous FTP" from the Internet site
 "UNICODE.ORG".  To retrieve them, uses will need access to the Internet and

 the program "ftp" or a work-alike.  A typical command for accessing ftp is:

         ftp unicode.org

 Shortly after entering this command, the following banner should appear:

   Connected to sarasvati.
   220 sarasvati FTP server (Version 5.1 (NeXT 1.0) Wed Dec 9, 1992) ready.
   Name (sarasvati:yernamehere):

 To login, type the word "anonymous".  The server will reply with:

   331 Guest login ok, send ident as password.
   Password:

 There is no password required for anonymous file retrieval, but it is
 helpful if users enter their full electronic mail address as a "password".

 The server will reply with:
   230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
   ftp

 Type "help" to get a list of commands that are available for navigating
 through the directories and retrieving files.  Several sub-directories are

 available under the public directory.  The public directory is "pub".
 Subdirectories are:

     MappingTables
     TechReports
     Programs
     TestSuites
     README
     Announcements

 To exit from the server and close the FTP connection, type "quit".
