I'd like to suggest that you get:

	"Digital Guide to Developing International Software"
	from Digital Press.
	Order # EY-F577E-DP
	ISBN # 1-55558-063-7
	
The book is geared towards the DEC platforms and the various
libraries available to VMS, Ultrix and DECwindows programmers.

Even if you couldn't care less about these platforms, the book is very
valuable.  Among other things, it describes common character sets and
has quite extensive guidelines fort dealing with internationalization
which are valid no matter what platform you're using.

DEC can be reached at 1-800-DIGITAL if you want to order this manual.
Outside the US, in New Hampshire, Alaska and Puerto Rico: 1-603-884-6660
