Description

Name: vi73552			Date: 05/18/99


The classes sun.io.{ByteToChar CharToByte}Converter provide a mechanism for adding character encodings.
There is no other simple way of doing this. Keep the 
implementations of the standard character encodings part of
the implementation, but there should be a way to extend the 
character encodings by creating and registering an implementation
of the new encodings with a standard class.

WORK AROUND Name: vi73552 Date: 05/18/99 Reimplement the character encoding lookup and registrations in user code, wrap the builtin character encodings, and avoid all of the methods that take a builtin character encoding string. ======================================================================
