I don't doubt that the development of Unicode involved creativity: under current law it probably qualifies as a patentable invention. Inventions and ideas, however, cannot be copyrighted: only creative works reduced to tangible form can. I'm arguing that the _creation_ _of_ _that_ _table_ involved no creativity, not that the invention of Unicode didn't. Is it possible to create other Unicode tables that serve the same purpose as that one and differ from it non-trivially? -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
