Description Manos PETRIDIS 2015-11-25 08:54:28 UTC
Please consider adding support for ISO-8859-7 encoding in Z39.50 searches (cataloguing/z3950_search.pl and elsewhere).

Info on the various Greek character sets can be found at http://www.dmst.aueb.gr/dds/sw/greek/grconv/grconv.txt and 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-7 and 
http://www.ascii.ca/iso8859.7.htm

ISO-8859-7 is/was also defined as ELOT_928, ISO-IR-126, ISO-IR-227, ECMA-118, CP28597 and is quite close to CP1253, WINDOWS-1253.

Tests may be performed against the UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS, GREECE target, at 195.134.90.84:210 with db name "UOA_Library" (in UNIMARC). An ISBN that is known to appear in search results is 960-236-152-2.
