Black & Decker Corporation is a *global* manufacturer and
marketer of power tools and accessories. The operative word
is global.
The old style code pages which the IT seems to prefer have no
provision for, for example, the scripts of India. Therefore,
if Black & Decker is to remain a *global* force, it must be
able to advertise, promote, and exchange information using
Unicode.
So, if the IT is in-house, terminate their employment and hire
someone from the twenty-first century. If the IT is not in-house,
get a new IT.
Best regards,
James Kass
