Charmap 0.1beta released

Charmap 0.1beta

Description
---------------

Charmap is a character map for GNUstep.

Charmap 0.1beta is the second release, as the alpha proved useful 
for several people. Please report any bugs in the beta, as I hope 
the 0.1 release will be entirely stable, though it may lack some 
features. I know you all want font selection and a Gorm-based UI, 
but I just want to get something stable out now.

Font selection is still not implemented. For best results, use Arial 
Unicode MS, Misc Fixed, or ClearlyU as your system font.

I'm particularly curious about how the application appears on 
displays not using UTF-8.

What's new
---------------

* Implemented Inspector to view character details (currently name 
and hex value)
* Applied a patch from Peter Cooper to enable compilation on non-C99 
compilers.
* Various code cleans (I'm trying to move away from #import 
statements, are you?)

Known Problems
-----------------------

* When the matrix for a given Unicode block is generated, it doesn't 
deactivate the superfluous cells, resulting in barely-noticable 
overlap.
* The higher portions of Unicode still aren't supported because 
GNUstep's NSString doesn't support them. This shouldn't be a big 
problem, since there are very few fonts at the moment which have 
anything in the higher portions.
* When you switch to another Unicode block, there are some NSLog 
messages about deleted rows which don't exist.

Enhancements Still To Come
----------------------------------------

* Font selection
* CJK and decomposition information - maybe in a loadable bundle to 
minimize size (otherwise you'd have a 20MB character map)
* A goto option (by using the hex number or Unicode name)
* A Help feature using Nicholas Roard's HelpViewer
