@ -2,10 +2,14 @@ This subdirectory contains a general character-set conversion
library, used in the Unix port of PuTTY, and available for use in
other ports if it should happen to be useful.
I intend to use this same library in other programs at some future
date. It is therefore a _strong_ design goal that this library
should remain perfectly general, and not tied to particulars of
PuTTY. It must not reference any code outside its own subdirectory;
it should not have PuTTY-specific helper routines added to it unless
they can be documented in a general manner which might make them
useful in other circumstances as well.
This is a variant of a library that's currently used in some other
programs such as Timber and Halibut. At some future date, we would
like to merge the two libraries, so that all programs use the same
libcharset.
