OpenVMS port of ICU
I'm looking for an OpenVMS port of the ICU (International Components for Unicode) package.
The background is that we have a multi-platform software(c-written) that currently is able to do character translations between several 1-byte code pages including EBCDIC and we want to extend this to cover most of the Unicode, ucs-2 and 4, utf-8 to 32, including the Asian languages variants. And EBCDIC.
I have looked at iconv, both the one distributed with OpenVMS and libiconv(GNU), but they don't cover all the variants we want.
I have also looked into the OpenVMS Xerces distribution that I believe have some relation with ICU but I can't find any useful lib or sharable.
Does anyone know of an ICU port or have knowledge how hard it can be to do your own port?
Thanks
Peter

Re: OpenVMS port of ICU
Here's how to add your own character translation tables into the I18N environment that's available with VMS when the I18N kit is installed, if that's of interest:
http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1637
And for completeness, there are the LIB$TRA_ASC_EBC and LIB$TRA_EBC_ASC calls in the library, and also see the OpenVMS NCS library in the OpenVMS documentation.
There are various tools to perform this translation available via the OpenVMS Freeware and old DECUS tapes, as well.

Re: OpenVMS port of ICU
This was a pretty thin failure reason and shouldn't be too hard to work around if you have an urgent reason to do so. I didn't so I didn't. The library code should be very portable given that it runs on all sorts of things, including z/OS.

Re: OpenVMS port of ICU
Hello Peter,
i am searching for an ICU Port.
Did you work on a port and probably finished? Or have you found another solution for your problem?
Greets and Thanks, Simon
