I am responsible for registering character sets and code pages within IBM and I would like to register an additional IBM character set (= IBM code page) to IANA. I believe the first step in that process is to propose the registration to this mail list, hence this note. This code page is IBM-866 known as "Personal Computer Cyrillic Russian." It is the standard code page for Russian for IBM DOS and OS/2. It is also used by Microsoft, known as "MS-DOS Cyrillic CIS 1." The registration details are as follows: Character set name(s): IBM866 CP866 csIBM866 866 Published specification(s): IBM NLDG Volume 2 (SE09-8002-03) August 1994 (It is also available in Microsoft's "Developing International Software for Windows 95 and Windows NT" by Nadine Kano, ISBN 1-55615-840-8) Person & email address to contact for further information: Rick Pond, rickpond@vnet.ibm.com Please send me any comments or concerns or if you wish details of the code page definition. The registration procedure is not clear about whether any discussion about this request should take place on this mailing list. If that is the general procedure, then I would appreciate if someone could add my name to the list! Otherwise, please send any notes directly to me.
