I found an implementation at: http://daiyuwen.freeshell.org/gb/wubi/wubi.html (GPL?) but it appears to do more than I need and since the code feels a bit messy to me, I stripped it down to its bare essentials (FWIW, my modified version seems to work for what I need at the moment). I'm not sure where the table data came from [1] so I'm uncertain as to the redistributability of the original and/or modified code. On a related note, I've located some seemingly usable table data in the cxterm and the xsim projects: http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/cxterm/cxterm/dict/gb/WuBi.tit?rev=1.3&view=log http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/xsim/xsim/plugins/IMs/wubi/dict/words/ I'm considering whether to write some code to translate one of the tables (or perhaps do both and merge them) for use in an appropriate quail input method. However, before I decide whether to proceed, I'd like to know if there's a wubi input method scheduled to be included in Emacs (or if there's one there already that I've missed). Does anyone here know? Cheers [1] I think there's mention about the table data originating from the cxterm project at: http://daiyuwen.freeshell.org/gb/wubi/wubi.html but I'm not confident of my interpretation of the text (within the first few paragraphs).
