[9fans] tcs and many channels

[Einar Karttunen]

Hello

I am hacking irc support to acme. I was wondering what would be the best
way to perform the charset conversion. Irc is quite broken, most
channels use legacy encodings, which are specified only implicitely. 

Now given a scenario with 30 channels, what would be a good way to
convert the data streams from the legacy codings to utf? The simple
solution would be to run one tcs for input and an another for output for
each channel. This would mean 60 tcs processes (and 30mb of ram).

The second approach would be to have one tcs process for each channel
for input and run a tcs process each time the user says something.
This would need half the memory, but would incur more overhead/line.

Is there a good solution to this? (Other than changing irc...)

i think tcs should probably be implemented as a library
function.

(come to that, it'd be nice if it understood the standard
charset names, 'cos currently you'd have to do your
own charset-name mapping, which doesn't seem quite right).

Okamoto-san extracted the essence from tcs and made into a library.
