- VISC11PS.ZIP VISCII and VIQR 1.1 standards, in PostScript
-
- This is a collection of PostScript document files describing the
- Vietnamese Character Encoding standards, VISCII and VIQR, both in
- English and in Vietnamese.
-
- Vietnamese International Standard Code for Information Interchange
- (VISCII) is an 8-bit superset of ASCII, allowing full encoding of
- Vietnamese in precomposed form. VISCII has been designed for maximum
- compatibility with existing MS-DOS, MS Windows, Unix and X-Windows
- software, allowing Vietnamese to be used with most existing software
- packages.
-
- VIQR (VIetnamese Quoted-Readable) is a 7-bit visual encoding scheme
- which allows Vietnamese to be transmitted over 7-bit electronic networks
- and mail channels, as well as to be readable on ASCII terminals.
-
- This version of VISC11PS.ZIP replaces the older version of the same
- name. Only minor corrections in the text have been made. The standards
- remain unchanged.
-
- Questions about these standards should be directed to the Viet-Std
- working group (viet-std@haydn.stanford.edu), 1212 Somerset Drive, San
- Jose, CA 95132, USA.
