Hello, this is new version of radix charconv.

Agreed. So, I identifed source files of each character for EUC_JP
and SJIS conversions to clarify what has been done on them.

SJIS conversion is made from CP932.TXT and 8 additional
conversions for UTF8->SJIS and none for SJIS->UTF8.

EUC_JP is made from CP932.TXT and JIS0212.TXT. JIS0201.TXT and
JIS0208.TXT are useless. It adds 83 or 86 (different by
direction) conversion entries.

Now the generator scripts don't use *.map as source and in turn
generates old-style map files as well as radix tree files.

For convenience, UCS_to_(SJIS|EUC_JP).pl takes parater --flat and
-v. The format generates the old-style flat map as well as radix
map file and additional -v adds source description for each line
in the flat map file.

During working on this, EUC_JP map lacks some conversions but it
is another issue.
