Note that only utf8_encode and utf8_decode are mine; make_unicode_string and make_utf8_string (and all the non-Win32 stuff) belong to the original authour of that file. (Edmund, if the copyright string at the head of my copy is correct). I hereby grant you permission to use my code from utf8.c in the vorbis-tools distribution under the terms of the GNU LGPL version 2.1 . WARNING! The code in utf8.c is almost definitely not the code you want in a library, unless that library is targeted specifically and only at console appilcations that cannot use wmain (for portability reasons, presumably). The correct thing to do on Windows is to use wchar_t everywhere, and let the app use make_utf8_string and make_unicode_string (which aren't mine). (See http://www3.sympatico.ca/ix42/oggenc.unicode.patch.gz for the way I handled this issue in oggenc on NT. For Win9x support, you really need to use wmain for console apps, as CommandLineToArgvW isn't availalbe, even in the Microsoft UNICODE Layer package. GUI apps are less likely to have this problem.) At the very least, GUI apps probably want to replace GetConsoleCP() with CP_ACP in utf8_decode. So, yeah, go ahead an use my code if you still want to. Enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot, and all that. :-) Peter Harris From kris@cs.ucsb.edu Tue Feb 25 22:00:59 2003 Return-Path: <kris@cs.ucsb.edu> Received: from fed1mtao08.cox.net (fed1mtao08.cox.net [68.6.19.123]) by boojiboy.eorbit.net (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h1Q60xS11015 for <rob@eorbit.net>; Tue, 25 Feb 2003 22:00:59 -0800 Received: from [192.168.123.139] ([68.6.87.189]) by fed1mtao08.cox.net (InterMail vM.5.01.04.05 201-253-122-122-105-20011231) with ESMTP id <20030226060048.HJRC20117.fed1mtao08.cox.net@[192.168.123.139]> for <rob@eorbit.net>; Wed, 26 Feb 2003 01:00:48 -0500 Subject: Re: vorbis metadata code From: Kristian Kvilekval <kris@cs.ucsb.edu> To: Robert Kaye <rob@eorbit.net> In-Reply-To: <1046237706.32537.2.camel@boobs.eorbit.net> References: <1046237706.32537.2.camel@boobs.eorbit.net> Content-Type: text/plain Organization: Message-Id: <1046239254.8919.21.camel@krispc> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.2.2 Date: 25 Feb 2003 22:00:54 -0800 X-MailScanner: Found to be clean X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-32.4 required=5.0 tests=EMAIL_ATTRIBUTION,IN_REP_TO,QUOTED_EMAIL_TEXT,REFERENCES, REPLY_WITH_QUOTES,USER_AGENT_XIMIAN autolearn=ham version=2.50 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.50 (1.173-2003-02-20-exp) X-Evolution-Source: imap://robert@mail.eorbit.net:993/ Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Use any that you would like to.. Does it matter if an application is GPL vs. LGPL? What would it take to put some of the functionality of MB_tagger back into zinf? The code looks pretty windowsy. (What is AnsiString?)
