[icu-support] There is a way to call a icu class from terminal?

[Mario M. <mou...@gm...>]

Hi Folks

I installed last version of icu in my fedora. Works fine and I can run
executable like "gensprep --help".

I am newbie in C, C++ and I am making a big effort to learn. I know
it's a long highway but C, C++ worthwhile study.

I saw some /dir/samples and I reading and trying use it.

I am very interest in class RuleBasedCollator so I would like to use
this class to my project.

There is a way to call this class from terminal (shell/bash) ? Or
should I make a C or C++ file to do that after compile?

Per example I would like to transform "Mário" to "mario", just it!
(look lowercase transformation)

Collation in Latin languages isn't so hard but I am uncomfortable with
others languages and char sets.

ps. There is a way to search inside the ICU mailing list in
sourceforge.net? I couldn't find!
