+The accompanying C source code file "ConvertUTF.c" and the associated header
+file "ConvertUTF.h" provide for conversion between various transformation
+formats of Unicode characters. The following conversions are supported:
+
+ UCS4 to UTF16
+ UCS4 to UTF8
+ UTF16 to UCS4
+ UTF16 to UTF8
+ UTF8 to UTF16
+ UTF8 to UCS4
+
+In addition, there is a test harness which runs various tests.
+
+The files "CVTUTF7.C" and "CVTUTF7.H" are for archival and historical purposes
+only. They have not been updated to Unicode 3.0 and should be considered
+obsolescent. "CVTUTF7.C" contains two functions that can convert between
+UCS2 (i.e., the BMP characters only) and UTF-7. Surrogates are not supported,
+the code has not been tested, and should be considered unsuitable for general
+purpose use.
+
+Please submit any bug reports about these programs here:

+
+Version 1.0: initial version.
+Version 1.1: corrected some minor problems; added stricter checks.
