**********************************************************************

The Internet and the World Wide Web continue to change the shape of 
computing.  The goal of network computing and understandable text 
access across wide, diverse groups of people has brought great 
momentum to computing environments that build Unicode into their 
foundation.  Whether it's new internet commerce, network access to 
data, or very portable applications, Unicode makes a solid foundation 
for the network, global enterprises, and software users everywhere.

The Thirteenth International Unicode Conference will address topics 
ranging from Unicode and fonts to Unicode-based multilingual Web 
servers and databases.  Conference attendees will include managers, 
software engineers, systems analysts, and product marketing personnel 
responsible for the development of software supporting Unicode/
ISO-10646 as well as those involved in all aspects of the 
globalization of software and the Internet.
