1994-03-04: V0.97 KK

        The file format looks pretty stable, but the internal data
        structure used in ReadCodeTable () might change.

        quite a few corrections due to the fact I now had chance to check
        ISO/IEC 10646-1 and started to compare it with the names used here
        and that I wrote a few programs to crosscheck the character names.
