[comp.lang.smalltalk] Xerox Char Code Standard

john@utafll.uta.edu (John Baima) (02/06/91)

I am interested in getting a copy of the Xerox Character Code Standard
which is used by ST-80. The ParcPlace people told me that they could
not give me the Xerox document (because they are no longer Xerox, etc)
and suggested that I contact Xerox. Has anyone else asked for or
looked at this document? I am interested in comparing it to the
proposed new Unicode standard. It would be very nice if everyone would
use the same 16 bit character codes :-) :-)

Thanks for any help!

Xerox Standards such as the Character Code Standard can be ordered from
the Xerox Systems Institute.  The order person is Fonda Pallone
at +1 408-737-4652.

I believe that the Xerox Character Code Standard (XCCS) is similar to the 
AFFI registry but somewhat different than Unicode.  I believe that Unicode
requires the Han unification which is a politically charged issue with
the PRC, Hong Kong and Formosa.
