   "Catering for a global audience is difficult, Tom takes us through a   
   'timezones' style explanation of the things you need to keep in mind

   One of my programmers has been working on converting our Windows user   
   interface, written in 450,000 lines of C++, from Ascii to Unicode for

   estimate is another year to complete.
