Second release of Operating System portable
binary tables (THB), for storing efficiently
the text-tables for representation of ISO8859-1
and others (the latter tables were released
by the Unicode consortium).

All THB (binary tables) were built using
'guncoder', based on the text-tables referred.

The library provides abstraction of the
processor specific formats, so all tables
rely on network-order for portability.

ISO8859-1 is directly mapped on unicode256.thb,
and can be extended to a maximum of 65533 entries,
according to Unicode 4.0.

This package also contains the client for reporting these tables.

unicode256_2006-01.tar.gz presents the latest updates on symbol
namings, from UnicodeData 4.1.0.
