This is to announce that I have moved and spiced up
my webpage on ISO 8859 and now I can proudly offer you:

        The ISO 8859 Alphabet Soup
        with all the latest news up until ISO-8859-15
        special guest: the Euro sign
        http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html

        The Cyrillic Charset Soup NEW! HOT! UNIQUE! BLINK!
        the history of KOI-8 (the Russian ASCII) & Co.
        slightly opinionated towards KOI8 Unified and Unicode
        http://czyborra.com/charsets/cyrillic.html

        Good ole' ASCII
        a few words on ISO-646 (US-ASCII and its national variants)
        and the development towards ISO-10646 (Unicode)
        http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso646.html

        Codepage & Co.
        a superficial introduction to Bill's code page jungle
        http://czyborra.com/charsets/codepages.html

        Encoding Vietnamese
        a graphical illustration of VISCII (RFC 1456)
        http://czyborra.com/charsets/vietnamese.html

Please update your links to the old locations
http://www.cs.tu-berlin.de/~czyborra/charsets/ and
http://wwwwbs.cs.tu-berlin.de/~czyborra/charsets/.
http://czyborra.com/ is there to stay permanently.

That was the good news. Enjoy!

The bad news is that my promised Unicode-HOWTO for Linux is horribly
delayed. It is still far from having grown to a publishable state.
My original time frame turned out to be a bit too optimistic. I
haven't even gotten back to all the celebrities who sent suggestions.
Good things may come to those who wait, though.

Cheers, Roman
