The Compound Text encoding has been adopted as an MIT X Consortium standard. Compound Text is a format for multiple character set data, such as multi-lingual text. The final version of the standard is available via anonymous ftp to expo.lcs.mit.edu in the directory /pub/CTEXT/ ctext.tbl.ms Compound Text troff source ctext.ps Compound Text in PostScript The document is also available via the archive server at xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu. The following items are available, by sending a message with the Subject: line of "send etc <itemname>" and an empty message body: ctext.tbl.ms Compound Text troff source ctext.ps Compound Text in PostScript For example, use "send etc ctext.tbl.ms" to retrieve troff source. Some mailers produce mail headers that are unusable for extracting return addresses. If you use such a mailer, you won't get any response. If you happen to know an explicit path, you can include a line like path foo%bar.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu or path bar!foo!frotz in the body of your message, and the daemon will use it. If you simply cannot obtain the Compound Text from the network, you may request a paper copy by writing to: Michelle Leger Laboratory for Computer Science 545 Technology Square Cambridge, MA 02139
