What is the tenth ISO 8859 character set that Susan
Lasovick refers to in her mail about the ISO character
sets reproduced in our book?  (She mentions arenthetically
-but not 10!).

I've never heard of it (that explains why there are only
nine reproduced);  I reviewed our correspondence with ISO
and they didn't mention a tenth one either.

Enlightenment please - thanks - Emmanuel

BTW, there's a bunch of Macintosh character sets, HP U-X,
DOS code pages, and the Word Perfect character sets also
in various appendices in our book, should anyone be interested.
And one Windows Western European character set - ANSI.
Unfortunately, none of the other Windows character sets.
