Below is an article by Van Hai Ly on the use of different Vietnamese software
(VNU, VNI, Trichlor, and VPS), sent to me by Ho^` Tha`nh Vie^.t, Director
of VNI Company. The article was also published in a number of Vietnamese
newspapers in Australia. I'll post my response and comments on this article
shortly. - Binh Anson (Perth, Australia).
