This port offers VIQR<->VISCII (RFC 1456) conversion and VISCII ctype-like
routines for Vietnamese text processing. Of prime interest is the finite
state machine that reads 7-bit Viet-Net style Vietnamese and produces 8-bit
output. Developers are encouraged to take advantage of these routines for
these reasons:
- Parsing task is greatly simplified
- Makes one's code easier to port from one character encoding to another
- Ensures a consistent user interface across many software packages
