What's that about Unicode? It has been available on the Macintosh for more
than a year. You can use it for a number of esoteric languages already. That
means that any file created in an old proprietary format in Chinese, etc., is
obsolete and in a few years will be unreadable except for those who keep their
out-of-date software releases. If it doesn't come to the PC's soon, there will
be a mass wave of defectors.
