- Or, contact any other X/Open vendor. Since the conference was sponsored
- by AT&T, I'm not shocked if they implied that only AT&T had any support
- for such things. In fact, most major computer vendors now support
- standard interfaces for different languages, codesets, error messages,
- and local customs.

- I recommend the X/Open Portability Guide Issue III; in particular, the
- first three volumes.
