They also have these characters in their fonts for the LN01/LN01S. DEC also has some sort of 'international' character set whose lower 128 characters are the standard ASCII characters, while the next 128 are a number of useful mathematical symbols and European characters. Also, the Xerox 8000's running STAR also have Spanish, German and (I think) French characters available. I know, I've written papers using them! -- Dave Cohrs (608) 262-1204 ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo,topaz}!uwvax!dave dave@wisc-romano.arpa
