My impression is that it was the other way round. Digital took the drafts of Latin-1 and made DEC Multinational.

In article <500@enea.se> sommar@enea.se (Erland Sommarskog) notes that, in contrast to what I had written, Dec actually took an early draft of Latin-1 when it came time to produce the first products using Multinational. My apologies for a poorly thought-out posting. Martin. minow@thundr.enet.dec.com
