tlug: Unicode standards

["Stephen J. Turnbull" <turnbull@example.com>]

I broke down and bought the ISO 10646 version of the Unicode standard;
the version 2 Unicode book is on back order or something.  I also got
ISO-2022 (code extension techniques, ie, for multi-lingual
applications using national standard codes instead of Unicode) at the
same time.

Anybody who wants to know what they really say, give me a buzz.
They're pretty dry reading though :-), and the systematic parts are
surprisingly short (only 15 pages of definition and anouther 25 pages
of text appendix for ISO 10646).

If I can come to the next meeting, I'll bring 'em along.
