Active participations to the existing groups would be important.
Unless somebody very active in this area of study participating this
group, we should try to circulate information of related activities as
complete as possible as a group.
Regular standardization activities
ISO character code related standardization activities
OSI application area activities
POSIX standardization activities
X consortium (MIT)
ISODE
X.400/X.500 test bed environment software

Mule - see faq below:
A-1: What is Mule?
Mule is an enhancement of GNU Emacs. It supports a multi-lingual
environment. Mule has the following features:
* It can handle not only ASCII characters (7 bit) and ISO Latin-1
characters (8 bit), but also 16 bit characters like Japanese, Chinese,
and Korean. Furthermore Mule can have a mixture of languages in a
single buffer.
* You can set different coding systems for file input/output,.$@!!.(J
keyboard input, and inter-process communication.
* When not in the multi-lingual mode, it behaves almost like GNU
Emacs.
A-2: How can I get Mule?
Mule is available via anonymous FTP from:
etlport.etl.go.jp: /pub/mule
sh.wide.ad.jp: ~ftp/JAPAN/mule
Please use sh.wide.ad.jp unless you are in Japan. Both the complete
tar file of Mule and the diff file to GNU Emacs 18.58 are available.
Please take the diff file if you already have GNU Emacs.
