Two bits' worth:
- When Norsk Data's X.400 developers saw the RARE format, they JUMPED on it.
They had delayed all work on "how to print" because they recognized that
they could not set the standards in this field, and had many other things
to do.
- On this particular terminal, @ is an E with an accent.
The RARE format is implementable and understandable.
