There are three versions of JIS X 0208: JIS X 0208-1978 JIS X 0208-1983 JIS X 0208-1990 In 1987(?), they had a grand reorganization of the names. Prior to the renaming, JIS X 0208 was: JIS C 6226-1978 JIS C 6226-1983 It is safe to say that 0208 has had a following for quite a few years. - -- Erik M. van der Poel erik@sra.co.jp Software Research Associates, Inc., Tokyo, Japan TEL +81-3-3234-2692
