============================

ANSI Z39.64 is commonly known as EACC, formerly REACC, for [RLG or RLIN]
East Asia Character Code.  It was created by Research Libraries Group
(RLG) for use in CJK bibliographic information systems, and it is used by
RLIN, OCLC, and the Library of Congress (LC).  LC is now the
administrator in some sense, although I would be very interested to know
from others how active LC's role is.  EACC was based largely on CCCII; I
would also be pleased to have others explain the technical differences.
