Subject: Comparative tables of romanization

Someone asked about tables comparing pinyin and other schemes
of romanization.  I have several lists I can merge, but it might
take a couple of days to get to it.  The resulting list will
have to be posted in binary format, since it will include big-5
characters for bopomofo.

Just letting you know in advance so you don't go rushing off to
type in an entire dictionary.  I created these tables by starting
with a table of bopomofo, then using find/replace to convert the
bopomofo prefixes to pinyin prefixes, yale prefixes, wade-giles
prefixes, etc.  The result required some fixing up and may still
have imperfections, but I haven't found them so far.  Sending it
on to the net may elicit some corrections :-)

Well, the standard GB table also contains Bopomofo characters.  I don't
have a copy of this table at hand.  But I think it is in the Section 8 or
somewhere about.

Some Chinese softwares use condensed version of GB table, which removes a
several sections, including those Russian, Greek, and Japanese Kana.
NJStar 2.1 got some of them back now.  NJStar 2.1 registered users get this
table as a part of Chinese document.

Good luck.
