Much Thanks, I could not find TIS mapping table on
the web site of Unicode consortium - I see why.

Hmm, their formats are so hard to process? Just I've written a GNU
libc charmap (glibc-x.y.z/localedata/charmaps/) version of "make-table.sh".
(TIS mapping can be generated from GNU libc charmaps.)

However, I must apologize - the GNU libc charmaps can not replace
all of maps provided by Unicode consorthium. The charmaps for CJK
languages accompanied in glibc-2.0.x and glibc-2.1.x (x =< 3) are
"reduced" style, not fully-informed. Although current glibc-2.1.9x
informs fully, but still some maps are lacked. I should give it up,
and should consider another method.

Thanks again,

suzuki
