Hi,
  It's a very interesting input table. I would like to merge it into
SCIM (Smart Common Input Method platform, see http://www.scim-im.org).
So could you please provide a complete input table?
  If you would like to try out SCIM, you may download the binary
packages from http://sf.net/projects/scim.
  The attached table file is for scim-tables input method module. You
need install scim and scim-tables packages, in order to use it. Just
copy it into /usr/share/scim/tables directory and restart scim, then
you may use it by choosing Latex input method in Other submenu.

Regards
James Su
