Well, ISO 10646 is at DIS stage now. It is out for voting terminating 1991-06-06. The DIS has the document nbr ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 N666. That 10646 is a Draft International Standard (DIS) should mean that the standard is technically stable, and that there only can be done editorial changes to the standard. No substantial changes can be made. This is also one of the advantages of ISO 10646, it is available now, while UNICODE first will be available about April 91. On the other hand, I do not care that much about one or two more character sets. There has been several 16 bit character sets on the market for quite some time, viz. the Chinese, Japanese and Korean standards. Keld Simonsen
