This makes for a rather long list of questions if you want to know what Microsoft supports in a new OS or product release for instance.


One might think of how to best present the latest support level in a concise fashion and not on a per function per character basis.


P. A.


Microsoft has an almost forgotten, but still working, syntax for asking such multiple questions (note the change to "all characters"):

for %Y in ("Product %X\functions\*.*") do ask "Can product %X correctly perform function %Y on all characters in Unicode version %N?"

Perhaps a mechanism is needed to AND together the answers for each product. If the result is TRUE, product %X might be considered to support Unicode version %N.
