Subject: Cyrillic Language Kit



Hi Lief,

Is the Mac Cyrillic Language Kit you mentioned available
on internet independent of the huge Russian Mac OS?
I have a "universal" version which alas is Latin only.

I have hesitated to go get a Russian system as I never
expected it would work with a western keyboard. Is it not
designed for a keyboard on which the Cyrillic characters
are *engraved* in parallel with Latin?

Quite frankly I have never seen a Mac Russian Keyboard;
the Mac is rarissime in Russia for lack of early and
timely promotion.

But I have seen many PC Cyrillic keyboards and they
desperately need the engraving of both scripts; I will
describe them briefly (next post). My guess is that the
Russian Mac will prove quite similar.

Cheers

Laurent Siebenmann
