Well! It appears that the only problem with Polyglot was that most
people forgot about it! The distribution of issue 2/1 prompted a
number of responses to the international character set requirements
discussion, which form the bulk of issue 2. Two announcements
complete the issue. First, John Koontz forwards a Unicode progress
report from Asmus Freytag. The final article is an announcement about
work that der Mouse is doing on GNU emacs and 8-bit characters.
Enjoy! And *please* contribute! Submissions from various news groups
are welcome.
