From: Ping Lin <uunet!hub.toronto.edu!ping> I have heard that there is a standard (or industry consensus) on International UNIX under development, which supports the requirements of different foreign languages. Would anyone have further information on this UNIX? P. Lin (ping @ hub.toronto.edu) Volume-Number: Volume 16, Number 26

Would anyone have >further information on this UNIX? There is POSIX, the IEEE working groups on portable operating systems. The POSIX 1003.2 working group has dealt with some of the internationalization problems which have been identified. There are several international groups, such as /usr/group and EUUG which are helping 1003.2 in the internationalization areas. ANSI C also deals with some internationalization issues. ANSI C is assumed, but not required for POSIX. If you are not aware of these two efforts, it might be a good place to start. -- Mark H.
