Subject: "Online resources"

I've updated the pages at www.scots-online.org which display IPA
symbols to use Unicode. I find it easier and better than using gifs. (The
Dialect descriptions in 'Wir Ain Leid' and the Pronunciation Guide in the
'Online Dictionary' etc.)
Auld lang Syne in a modified spelling can also be found in the Reader.
I've also added a PDF document 'A Phonological Comparison of the Scots
Dialects' under 'Airticles' (Includes IPA Symbols)

If anyone has trouble accessing Unicode correctly try the following:

Unicode should work with relatively recent browsers and Windows 95+

NETSCAPE:

On the menubar, choose View > Characterset > Unicode (UTF-8)

If that doesn't achieve the desired result try:

On the menubar, choose Edit > Preferences... > Appearance > Fonts, For
the Encoding: Unicode / Variable width font: Lucida Sans Unicode.

MS EXPLORER:

On the menubar, choose View > Encoding > More > Unicode (UTF-8)

If that doesn't achieve the desired result try:

On the menubar, choose Tools > Internet Options..
then choose General (at the bottom of the window) > Fonts... > Web Page
Font: Lucida Sans Unicode.

Hae a cantie Yuil and a Guid New Year
