Subject: Diacriticals with WordPerfect
For those interested in diacriticals on WordPerfect, I just received an
excellent macro (DEADKEY.WPK) that uses the two bracket keys, the hyphen
key and the equal key to create the foreign language characters
available as part of the extended ASCII code. The system is simple and
logical. It may be a good alternative to other keystroke combinations
or learning a different keyboard. To obtain the macro, connect to the
following anomymous FTP site:
VACS.UWP.EDU
directory /PUB/WP
file WPUTIL36.ZIP
To unzip the file, make sure that the file has been downloaded in BINARY
mode.

Subject: Real Accents! documentation
To answer in one "fell swoop" the questions about ASCII documentation for
Real Accents!, there is a documentation file which I've added to the
accents files in pub/accents: accents.doc. All of these text files should be
accessible in this subdirectory (pub/accents) at ftp.oit.unc.edu. I hope
this software helps to clear up those unsightly two-byte representations
in some foreign-language databases we know.

Subject: Multilingual wp - little known prog
A programme which appears little known here in UK and even less so
it seems in US is Protextmade by a firm called ARNOR in Peterborough (UK)
I use Macs so I dont have personal experience of using it
but I have a friend who is haopopy with it
a) It supports all European Languages and can do Old english thorns &c
(So no good to l-r writers and people with more interesting alphabets)
b) The manual says it allows the creation of your own screen/printer
charactors
c) It reads and writes RTF so is compatible with the heavyweights
d) It is VERY easy to use - excellent as a basic wp for students &c
e) It's relatively cheap even in UK available for less than #80
ARNOR's phone number is 0733 68909
I know no more than this so dont ask me!
cheers
