    For many years now, I've been advising faculty thus:

    1. Adopt Unicode.

    2. If you have friends and colleagues who won't adopt Unicode, then get new
    friends and colleagues.

    Since neither MS nor Apple sells any operating system without Unicode
    support any more, it's just a matter of time, and we've based all our
    projects on Unicode for several years. We just ignore complaints from
    diehard Netscape 4 or Win98 users.

    Cheers,
    Martin
