1Create_nls - .nls file creation tool
2------------------------------------

4Create_nls is a tool to create binary .nls files from codepage mapping
5files provided by Unicode Inc. Due to the confusing license these files
6are not part of the ReactOS source tree.

9You can easily download the files from 'http://www.unicode.org/public' or
10'ftp://ftp.unicode.org/pub'. Download the directory structure of the web/ftp
11site into the unicode.org subdirectory and create_nls will build the .nls
12files.

14Makefile targets:
15    'make':            builds create_nls tool.
16    'make clean':      deletes all executable and object files
17    'make nls':        generates binary .nls files.
18    'make clean_nls':  deletes binary .nls files.

20Since the binary .nls files are part of the ReactOS source tree it is not
21necessary to build these files yourself. Therefore create_nls is not
22integrated with the main makefile. You will have to build and run it
23separately.
