Hello Aloni.
I worry a little that if you have some mis-understanding.
See my comment of your posting about coLinux FB.
BTW, Sorry, Lucas, the message I have to post about FB is delayed.
Writing English is so troublesome issue for me.

Yeah, of course, it is good. And traslating function is necessary,
at least for Japanese text. Because, we have three encoding for texts,
and usually Linux one and Windows one is different.

You plan to use Ian Pratt's User Land I/O Technology? Except using such kind
