+
+These are some scripts and datafiles used for generating tables used in the
+experimental UTF-8 implementation in xterm.
+
+To run the convmap.pl script, you will need a copy of UnicodeData-Latest.txt
+which is currently available as
+
+ ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt
+
+It is a large file (~877kb), so it is not included in this distribution.
+
+convmap.pl is used to generate ../keysym2ucs.c, e.g.,
+
+ ./convmap.pl >../keysym2ucs.c
+
+keysym.map is input data for convmap.pl
+
+
+The make-precompose.sh script makes the precompose.c file, which is used to
+handle canonical composition. This also needs UnicodeData-Latest.txt. It uses
+precompose.c.head and precompose.c.tail as templates.
