Description:
To Tcl developers,

In Tcl library sub-directory, there is a encoding file
named macThai.enc. I supposed that it is for Mac
platform. The standard character set for Thai language
is tis-620 which is registered with IANA. I know that
Thai is minor language, is it possible to include
tis-620.enc (see an attachment) in the next release? I
have already tested that file on Linux and it works
fine.

I'm sorry for my late response.

I have attached the file which is eqivalent to the URL as
you mentioned. The file was base on
http://software.thai.net/locale/th_TH/charmap.txt

A copy of CP874.TXT can be found at 
http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOW
S/, would it be possible to receive the equivalent for TIS-
620.TXT?  I believe it would be best if you did it, since I 
can get one character wrong and not notice the difference...

MacThai is an extension of TIS-620. Another extension is
CP874 from microsoft. TIS-620 is the most common denominator
and is used for data interchange to maintain full
compatibility among various platforms. Thai Linux community
is using TIS-620.

The above information was excerpted from IANA site. 
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-set-info/tis-620

You can see the reference table between TIS-620 and ISO/IEC
10646-1 from
http://www.inet.co.th/cyberclub/trin/thairef/tis620-iso10646.html

Where can I find some representation of this at 
http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/?  This seems to be 
almost the same as macThai.enc (macThai has more 
characters).  I just want to start with the equivalent tis-
620.txt file as one would find in tcl/tools/encoding (not 
library/encoding/), from which the .enc files are created.
