    The libiconv package (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/) has mapping
    tables for two Kazakh encodings, PT192 and RK1048.

    If anyone has a copy of an ST RK 920-91 mapping table they can make
    available (in printed or electronic form), or any other Kazakh encoding
    other than PT192 and RK1048, I would like to include them in
    http://www.math.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/csets.
