This directory contains binary encoding maps for some selected encodings.
If they are placed in a directoy listed in @XML::Parser::Expat::Encoding_Path,
then they are automaticly loaded by the XML::Parser::Expat::load_encoding
function as needed. Otherwise you may load what you need directly by
explicity calling this function.

These maps were generated by a perl script that comes with the module
XML::Encoding, compile_encoding, from XML formatted encoding maps that
are distributed with that module. These XML encoding maps were generated
in turn with a different script, domap, from mapping information contained
on the Unicode version 2.0 CD-ROM. This CD-ROM comes with the Unicode
Standard reference manual and can be ordered from the Unicode Consortium
at http://www.unicode.org. The identical information is available on the
internet at ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS.

See the encoding.h header in the Expat sub-directory for a description of
the structure of these files.
