Re: libvc 003 released with vCard 2.1 compatibility and question for the public

Wow.  I am impressed.  I didn't know there was ruby
support out there.

But don't you have to check the BOM to determine if
the double-byte is in little endian or big endian?  I
know Apple doesn't support the BOM, but they seem to
somehow handle both cases.  I need to experiement
though to find out exactly.

If you can do that in an hour, that's impressive.  I
was thinking of playing with IBM's open source
freeware library for Unicode, as this would be a more
cross-platform solution.
 
My interest in this eventually is to use killer easy
to use GUI applications in English, Japanese, Chinese,
and Korean, with skinnable interfaces, so one could
add let's say HelloKitty skins and little sticky
pictures of there friends in their contact list. :-)

Though this is down the road.  I think all too often
vendors ignore multi-lingual and murder even UTF-8
streams. :-/  So, hopefully some open source solutions
can help in that regard.
