VISCII11.ZIP    VISCII and VIQR 1.1 standards, in VISCII

     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 file is a VISCII text file describing the standards.  
It can be viewed using:

       * DOS VISCII-compliant editors such as BUTVIET or utilities 
	   such as "more," "less" and text editors (e.g., VNELVIS)
	   running under VIETDOS.

       * MS-Windows 3.1 MS-WRITE, MS-WORD, etc., with WINVNKEY 
           running in the background.

The file can be printed out using:

       * On DOS: VIETDM (dot-matrix printers), VLASER 2a (laser 
           printers), VPRINT (both laser and dot-matrix printers)

       * Most MS-Windows 3.1 editors using VISCII TrueType fonts.

     NOTE: BUTVIET, VIETDOS, VIETDM, VLASER, VPRINT, and WINVNKEY are 
available in the same archive directory.  The VISCII TrueType fonts
are supplied with WINVNKEY and VIETVU, also available from your archive.

<MSDOS.VISCII>
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.  (Basically, it is VISCII11.ZIP in
PostScript.)

     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.
