If it doesn't *recognize* InternationString then it's not version 3 compliant. The server in question must at least understand that the client is attempting to send an InternationalString search term, and respond with a diagnostic to the effect that it doesn' t support it. It can't just declare a protocol error. Otherwise it is not version 3 compliant. And this is not a debatable point. See http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/zing/bath-indexes.html. (And if it's not a version 3 server than it's a moot point.) So how difficult a step would it be to simply support the InternationalString? --Ray
