**********************************************************************

 The Internet and the World Wide Web continue to change the shape of
 computing. The goal of network computing and understandable text
 access across wide, diverse groups of people has brought great
 momentum to computing environments that build Unicode into their
 foundation. Whether it's new internet commerce, network access to
 data, or very portable applications, Unicode makes a solid foundation
 for the network, global enterprises, and software users everywhere.

 The Fourteenth International Unicode Conference will address topics
 ranging from Unicode use in the World Wide Web and in corporate
 and government intranets and databases, to the latest developments
 with Java. Conference attendees will include software engineers,
 systems analysts, managers, and product marketing personnel
 responsible for the development of software supporting Unicode
 as well as those involved in all aspects of the globalization of
 software and the Internet.
