Re: [IUG] CJK Diacritics in Millennium

[David Meyer <dmeyer at ucsc dot edu>]

I can do searches using CJK in our catalog. I don't recall having to do 
anything in particular, although I remember our Asian materials 
cataloger couldn't enter CJK in the Millennium client until she upgraded 
her Java from 1.4.x to the latest 1.5.x. What version of Java are you 
using on your Millennium clients? And yes, you need to have special 
indexing set up for the 880 fields in order for the transliterated 
searches to work.
