Unikey Software for Linux

Dear All,

I think this has gone unnoticed so far:

Anh Nguyen Dai Quy has ported his UniKey to Linux / X Windows.
See http://unikey.sourceforge.net/linux.php

Like always, all his tools are Free/Open Source software, released under
the GPL :))

X-Unikey:
X-Unikey is Unikey ported to X Window in Linux. X-Unikey lets you type
Vietnamese in X Window. X-Unikey has been tested with many popular
programs, such as OpenOffice, emacs, vim, QT applications, GTK
applications... X-Unikey has all the features of the Windows version,
except that its GUI is still too simplified. All options are set through
configuration file or keyboard shortcuts.

UVConverter:
UVConverter is a universal command-line Vietnamese encoding converter which
supports all popular charsets/encodings (Unicode, UTF8, TCVN3, VNI...)
UVConverter is available in both Windows and Linux.

X-Chat Autovn Plugin:
Autovn is a plugin for X-Chat that automatically converts all messages from
VIQR encoding to UTF-8 encoding.

Pine Vietnamese HOWTO:
This HOWTO shows how Pine can be setup to read and write Vietnamese emails.
One special feature is the ability to automatically convert back and forth
between VIQR and Unicode charset as you read or send emails. Emails
received in VIQR charset can be viewed as if it was an unicode email!

I would be especially interested, where those tools add new functionality
to the Mac, and/or which of those functions are already standard on the Mac
(which OS?).

Cheers,
and have a nice Weekend!

Stefan
