    All,

    For all those interested in following my search for GB 18030 test data.
    I'm having a another one of those 'senior moments'. I could have sworn
    that I sent this to the list already, but can't find it anywhere.
    Forgive me if I've already sent this info.

    I found some GB 18030 test data on the website of a private consultancy.
    http://www.chinesization.com/gb18030_standard.htm

    Download the testdata.zip from this page.

    My Chinese-speaking colleage, Tianmiao Hu, informs me that
    this _is_ the official test data. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

    It would be nice to find this same data from a more official source.
    Instructions in english would be helpful, also. :-)

    --Erik
