I still don't understand why this change has been made. Originally the
conversion was based on JIS0208.txt, JIS0212.txt and JIS0201.txt,
which is the exact definition of EUC-JP. CP932.txt is defined by
Microsoft for their products.

Probably we should call our "EUC-JP" something like "EUC-JP-MS" or
whatever to differentiate from true EUC-JP.

Best regards,
