Seconded - I would like to see that too.

I did some terminal firmware for a customer in the early (pre-PC) 80s. I had
to refresh my memory, so I dug into my musty-smelling files and turned up
two documents that I worked from. The first is titled "PRESENTATION LEVEL
PROTOCOL VIDEOTEX STANDARD", dated May, 1981 from Ma Bell. Unfortunately,
that standard doesn't discuss multiple character sets, so attached to it was
a section from another standard titled "Teletex Zeichenvorrat und Kodierung
(basierend auf CCITT Empfehlung S. 61)" that covers character formation
(among other things) from multibyte codes.
Very cool. Wish I had kept all this stuff. It would be cool if you
could scan this.
