-The accompanying files provide for conversion between Unicode/10646 and two
-different proposed transformation formats, UTF-7, UTF-8 and UTF-16.
-Please address any comments on UTF-8 or UTF-16 to mark_davis@taligent.com,
-and any comments on UTF-7 to david_goldsmith@taligent.com
+The accompanying C source code file "ConvertUTF.c" and the associated header
+file "ConvertUTF.h" provide for conversion between various transformation
+formats of Unicode characters. The following conversions are supported:
+
+ UCS4 to UTF16
+ UCS4 to UTF8
+ UTF16 to UCS4
+ UTF16 to UTF8
+ UTF8 to UTF16
+ UTF8 to UCS4
+
+
+The files "CVTUTF7.C" and "CVTUTF7.H" are for archival and historical purposes
+only. They have not been updated to Unicode 3.0 and should be considered
+obsolescent. "CVTUTF7.C" contains two functions that can convert between
+UCS2 (i.e., the BMP characters only) and UTF-7. Surrogates are not supported,
+the code has not been tested, and should be considered unsuitable for general
+purpose use.
+
+Please address any bug reports about these programs to info@unicode.org.
