Subject: [Classweb-users] Switch to new Class Web Platform this Weekend
         (December 17-18)

Class Web subscribers,

After successfully testing the upgrade to the underlying Classification Web 
software, Minaret 3, CDS expects to switch over to the new platform this 
weekend  (December 17-18).

Please note  important information below:

As with the test platform, there will be NO CHANGE to the overall look and 
feel of the Class Web interface at this juncture except, the new software 
platform will facilitate a wider range of enhancement options in the future.

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 MS.  Check the bottom of this email for instructions on 
how to make this change.

Steps for changing the display font for MSIE:

1) At the top of the window on the MSIE menu, click on "Tools" and select 
"Internet Options...".

2) Near the bottom of the dialog box, click on the button labeled "Fonts" 
to display your font choices.

3) In the drop down box titled "Language script" make sure that "Latin 
based" is selected.

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".

5) Click on the "OK" button on each screen to save your choices and return 
to main Web browser display.

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.
