Glad to hear that Victor is back in business.  At Duke we have a number
of 9000s used for word processing in languages that use alphabets other
than Roman.  Our Divinity School, for example, uses Victor 9000s for
word processing in Greek, Hebrew, and Ethiopic (and probably a few
others).  Not only does the Victor offer higher screen resolution than
the PC, it permits software redefinition of the character set
(something not permitted in the IBM PC except in graphics mode).  On
the whole, a very nice machine.
