To: Frank Tang, ftang@netscape.com This is a request to make the GB2312V2 converter become the active converter for contents with Meta=GB2312 in their HTML pages. So far we have been using Meta=Windows-936 as a test.

Bob- does removing dead code beta1 criteria ? Fixing this will also reduce the download size. Mark it M15 for now.

How big?
The time I need to figure out the size is probably 5 minutes less than the time I need to fix it. My gut feeling is it will reduce the size of the ucvcn converter to 2/3 of the current size.
The current uncompressed sie from: ftp://sweetlou/products/client/seamonkey/windows/32bit/x86/2000-02-18-09-M14/siz e_matters.txt is -rw-r--r-- 1 544 everyone 124800 Feb 18 09:33 ucvcn.dll I'd suggest this would be worthwhile to reduce our download size prior to Beta1. I'll nominate for Beta1 and see what PDT team thinks.

Sent over to bobj. Need to know what GB2312 is and who it impacts for beta.
Whiteboard: [NEED INFO]
per bobj mail: "GB2312 is the encoding used for simplified Chinese used in mainland China. From a feature perspective, it does not matter if we fix this bug for Beta1. But since all the Unicode converters are packaged with the complete install, if we reduce the size of this module, we will reduce the size of all complete installs. Is this estimated size savings significant enough we want to take this change. It should be safe. It's just removing the old converter. We had 2 versions in the module during our transition from old code to new code.
Putting on PDT- radar for beta1.
