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 felt a bit messy to me, I stripped it down to its bare essentials. 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 thinking about writing 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 got the feeling from the first couple of paragraphs of the web page that the author got table data from cxterm, but I'm not confident about this interpretation of the text.
