Re: BSD license problem of BiCon was non-issue

I was not talking about YOUR "personal preference", but the PuTTY
guys'.  As Shachar noted, compiling PuTTY with FriBidi statically
is allowed too, as long as the source code for PuTTY is provided.


FYI, the putty guys havent been around much. i've only received 1
post from simon since i started on putty. (probably 2)

No that's wrong.  Reference impl. may be O(N^2), since it's a
prototype too, but FriBidi is O(N).  In fact it's a really really
light O(N) implementation.


/me envies FriBidi.
dont worry, i got lots of optimizations in mind.

Ok Ok.  Too bad you are coding for windows, which means you only
support BMP.  BTW, please don't use RLE as that acronym, since it
means something else here.

whats BMP ? sorry about "RLE", "run length encoding" is boring.

I'm not sure if you are interested in it at all.  I have a test
case in FriBidi for that.  The long test case IIRC.

do u mean the files in fribidi's source /test ???

I read in code the other time that you change WS to ON for the
time.  Is it fixed?  BTW, try a sequence like this:


WS is changed to ON, until the rules at the end where the types are
retreived from the original text string. just like the refrence code.
isnt that what u do ?

R EN ET NSM EN.

[probably you get it right.] 

unfortunately, putty drops all NSMs before they get to bidi.
so i havent tested NSMs. or at least thats what i think...

u know, i kinda think i should give this thing more attention. :)
