INLEX, Inc., has announced that it can support diacritic requirements for 15 languages using any one of several different Hewlett-Packard terminals and printers. The support is based on the Extended Latin Alphabet Coded Character Set for Bibliographic Use adopted by the American Library Association--also known as NISO Z39.47-1985 or ANSEL Z39.47-1985. Diacritics may be entered or edited with the use of cataloging tools designed for this purpose, and may subsequently be displayed or printed.
The enhancement reflects not only the company's response to the research library community, but also its planned move into the European market. INLEX already has a distributor in Australia. INLEX realized sales of $12 million in 1989, with approximately one-third of the revenue coming directly to INLEX and the rest to Hewlett-Packard. There are 90 installations.
