Here is some off-list correspondence that I thought might be of interest
to some of you.

Mike,
When we make the next release I will ask Michel to compile the Windows
binary for 32-bit Unicode.
I hope you can find out where to put spaces. It sounds rather confusing
without them. But then many ancient manuscripts didn't have spaces, so
maybe this is the case with Chinese also.
When you finish your tables, please send them to me to be included in
the liblouis distribution. I think it would be all right to discuss
Chinese tables on the list, since it doesn't concern any ViewPlus "trade
secrets". In fact, I would like to forward this correspondence to the
list.
John
