Charsets from RFC 1345

In the GNU recode distribution, there is a copy of RFC 1345:

"Character Mnemonics & Character Sets", K. Simonsen, Request for Comments no. 1345, Network Working Group, June 1992.

This document is also available by anonymous ftp at `nic.ddn.mil' in directory `rfc' as file `rfc1345.txt'. This report defines many character mnemonics and character sets.

GNU recode implements most of RFC 1345, however:

It does not recognize 16-bits charsets: GB_2312-80, JIS_C6226-1978, JIS_C6226-1983, JIS_X0212-1990 and KS_C_5601-1987.
It does not recognize those charsets which combine two characters for representing a third: ANSI_X3.110-1983, ISO_6937-2-add, T.101-G2, T.61-8bit, iso-ir-90 and videotex-suppl.
It interprets the charset isoir91 as NATS-DANO (alias iso-ir-9-1, not as JIS_C6229-1984-a (alias iso-ir-91). So better avoid using these two alias names.
It interprets the charset isoir92 as NATS-DANO-ADD (alias iso-ir-9-2, not as JIS_C6229-1984-b (alias iso-ir-92). So better avoid using these two alias names.
It ignores all about code overloading, but still processes correctly the remainder of dk-us and us-dk.

Keld Simonsen `keld@dkuug.dk' did most of RFC 1345 himself, with some funding from Danish Standards and Nordic standards (INSTA) project. He also did the character set design work, with substantial input from Olle Jaernefors. Keld typed in almost all of the tables, some have been contributed. A number of people have checked the tables in various ways. The RFC lists a number of people who helped.
