I have heard of a new multi-lingual character set called Unicode.

It is supposed to give one all the character sets in the world in 16-bit
charcters.  It is supposed to be backed by several Unix companies, Apple,
and the DOS companies.

Other than that, I have no details.

Does anyone know where I can get a spec?  I need to evaluate this proposed
"standard".



Thanks,

Neil
