I think that what is important is that they compare with the copy they have to be sure that the 3 occurrences of the character representing the DECIMAL SEPARAROR function symbol (the electronic copy shows an upper case Greek letter GAMMA, the nearest character I could find, shape-wise) be corrected by ISO publishers. Here is the RTF version of the file. Keith, is it OK? That avoids mail... and it is infinitely more efficient that we proceed this way. It reduces the delays to virtually zero.

Data entry should be designed in a way that is independent of presentation options chosen by the users. Keyboard drivers and their interfaces to the applications should be designed so that the decimal separator fu nction of the numeric keypad does not generate a specific character limited in scope. The "decimal separator" function should be implemented as a software function that indicates how to build a number where the decimal separator marks the ending of the in teger part of a number and the start of its fractional part. \par }\pard \tx0\tx708\tx1416\tx2124\tx2832\tx3540\tx4248\tx4956\tx5664\tx6372\tx7080\tx 7788\tx8496\tx920 4\hyphpar0 {\f5\lang2057 \par }\pard \tx0\tx708\tx1416\tx2124\tx2832\tx3540\tx4248\tx4956\tx5664\tx6372\tx7080\tx 7788\tx8496\tx920 4\hyphpar0 {\f5\lang1036 \tab Cette information est document\'e9e pour indiquer une tendance \'e0 suivre dans le d\'e9 veloppement logiciel pour la saisie des donn\'e9es.
