Thank you Damien for reposting my question here and for guiding me here. Following the Stef's reccomendations, converter is now published as separate package here: http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/CP1251TextConverter.html
But I do not get an answer I'm seeking for yet. I want/seeking the way for this converter to be included in standard Pharo distribution. Smalltalk has small but consistent Russian community, so it' looks reasonable, especially taking into account that we have RussianEnvironment anyway. Plus, I want to use this simple and small example to understand a process of including my code in "mainstream" and get understand the possible problems. Working on SmallPOS I made a lot of adjusments in "Pharo Core", Magritte and GLORP, which probably may be useful outside the SmallPOS. So I started a process of separating this code from SmallPOS package and want to know how to share it. > Currently it does CP1250, CP1252 and CP1253 among others (including > KOI8R), but not (yet) CP1251. Sven, abstractly, it will be better to include CP1251. After all, it's little bit strange to have KOI8R implemented without implementing CP1251. Second one is widely used - much wider then KOI8R. I was forced to use it as hardware I use (sticker label printer and cash register) was designed to use CP1251 at hardware level. As far as it takes no or little efforts I propose you to add the mentioned encoding. > Do you see http://www.squeaksource.com/RussianSupport.html No, I dont. When I implemented mine one - it was several years ago - I tried to find one, but failed. Repo you pointing me to was made far before mine, so it was possible to find it. I don't know why I failed to find it. I may assume that, probably, I found it but it is not working. You see, it looks like it designed for Squeak, or, at least, the author do not follow the template other ByteTextConverters follow. Just a speculation, I do not tried to load it now. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Fwd-Esug-list-How-to-contribute-CP1251TextConverter-tp4777494p4777580.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
