-the version level:
+This directory contains contributory data files
+for the Unicode Character Database of the Unicode Standard.
- Unicode Standard, Version 4.0.0
+Copyright (c) 1991-2005 Unicode, Inc.
+For terms of use, see http://www.unicode.org/terms_of_use.html
-For information about the standard itself, see:
-
-http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/
-
-Detailed documentation of the files constituting the
-Unicode Character Database (contributory data files for
-the standard itself) can be found in UCD.html.
-
-Unihan.txt is a very large file and is unchanged from
-its Unicode 3.2.0 version. A zipped version is
-also provided for downloading convenience: Unihan.zip.
-
-The current Unicode 3.2.0 version of Unihan.txt is also available in
-two compressed formats in the Unicode 3.2.0 update directory. See:
-http://www.unicode.org/Public/3.2-Update/
-or
-ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/3.2-Update/
-
-Unihan-3.2.0.zip for Windows. (Use winzip)
-Unihan-3.2.0.txt.gz for Unix. (Use gzip or gunzip)
-
-Note that the files are zipped in
-exactly the same format they have on the server (with Unix
-line endings). From a browser, right-clicking on
-Unihan-3.2.0.zip will allow automatic download and unzip on a
-Windows system with winzip installed.
