[WEB4LIB] Use of Non-Roman Character Sets on Public Web Browsers

[Di Clarke]

hi Charles,

We have installed NJWIN on our public access workstations in the libray,
and our Asian students love it. It supports all Chinese, Japanese, and
Korean (CJK) coding standards and is very easy to use, simply a matter of
selecting from a drop-down list. More information is available at
http://www.njstar.com.

cheers,
di
