<font size=3>The BQ section looks very neat with Chinese titles added.
However, this might be the only section where non-Roman data are found. I
checked DS and PL areas but did not see any non-Roman data added. A nice
start, though.<br><br>

diacritics aren't working too well in Firefox, and in IE Russian
ligatures look a little different from ligatures in LC's Voyager webpac.
However, see also the class range suggested by LC: BQ1290-1300 for CJK,
which look pretty nice!<br><br>
Anyway, if you see any oddities in the display, be sure to inform

The test platform for the Classification Web is now available at
<a href="http://209.18.108.32/" eudora="autourl">http://209.18.108.32/</a>
<br><br>
See the information below concerning the test.<br><br>

Class Web subscribers,<br><br>
The LC Cataloging Distribution Service is currently finalizing testing an
upgrade to the underlying Classification Web software.<br><br>
There will be NO CHANGE to the overall look and feel of the Class Web
interface at this juncture except:<br>
1) The system response time should be faster.<br>
2) It will now be possible to view the full range of characters available
in Unicode display.<br>
3) The new software platform will facilitate a wider range of enhancement
options in the future.<br><br>
As part of the testing process for this version, CDS would like to offer
all current Class Web customers FREE ACCESS for the purpose of:<br>
1) Verifying response time improvements with production level volume of
system traffic.<br>
2) Assuring full functionality with the complete range of customer
hardware and software platforms.<br>
3) Giving users an opportunity to view the new, more extensive character
display options. An example of non-Roman characters added to
classification captions can be viewed at BQ1290-1300.<br><br>
IMPORTANT: To correctly view the full Unicode display, those customers
using Microsoft Internet Explorer will need to change their browser to
font to Arial Unicode MSl. Check the bottom of this email for
instructions on how to make this change.<br><br>
The URL for this test platform is
<a href="http://209.18.108.32/" eudora="autourl">http://209.18.108.32/</a>
and it will be available from December 5- December 18, 2005.<br><br>
During the test of the new software platform:<br>
1) All of your current logon procedures should work as they do
currently.<br>
2) You will have the same concurrent user access that you do on your
production account.<br>
3) As with he production server, however, people without current accounts
will not be able to access the system.<br>
4) As passwords work for either server, the same degree of discretion
should be used in providing access as you do with your current
account.<br>
5) Remember that any changes you make to "preferences" on
the test server will NOT carry over to the production server.<br><br>
We would really appreciate having Class Web customers give the software
upgrade a full workout because the more extensive the testing, the
greater opportunity there will be to assure that all systems are go when
the upgrade becomes the production interface.<br><br>
To facilitate the collection of feedback, please forward all comments to
the Class Web support email address at
support@classificationweb.net<br><br>
Enjoy the additional access on the test platform at URL
<a href="http://209.18.108.32/%A0" eudora="autourl">http://209.18.108.32/
</a> for the period of December 5- December 18, 2005.<br><br>
All feedback you can provide will be greatly appreciated and will go a
long way to assuring a successful rollout of this important product
enhancement.<br><br>

The steps for changing the display font for MSIE:<br><br>
1) At the top of the window on the MSIE menu, click on "Tools"
and select "Internet Options...".<br><br>
2) Near the bottom of the dialog box, click on the button labeled
"Fonts" to display your font choices.<br><br>
3) In the drop down box titled "Language script" make sure that
"Latin based" is selected.<br><br>
4) Select a font from the list in the box on the left hand side of the
dialog box. The best choice is "Arial Unicode MS". If that
selection is not displayed, try "Lucida Sans Unicode".<br><br>
5) Click on the "OK" button on each screen to save your choices
and return to main Web browser display.<br><br>
Those customers without Arial Unicode MS, should note that "Lucida
Sans Unicode" is not as complete as "Arial Unicode MS" and
is bold faced but users may prefer it over the default font of
"Arial". Another option is to use a Netscape,
Mozilla or Firefox browser. All of these products do a very nice job of
displaying diacritics using the regular "Arial" font.<br><br>
