NEW! OSC-CEE-Ukrainian Web Pages

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings.

A brief announcement regarding some additions and modifications to
the Ukrainian portion at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) - Central
& Eastern European (CEE) server.

OSC-CEE-Ukrainian has now been Webbed!!

Two sets of twelve web pages have been assembled to showcase and offer
easier viewing of much of the contents of the site.  In one set the
pages are all in English; in the second set the pages are in both
English and Ukrainian.

The URLs/Locators are:
http://www.osc.edu/ukraine.html for the English only set, and
http://www.osc.edu/ukraina.html for the English/Ukrainian set.
                         ^
The difference between the two pointers is in a letter.

In order to read the Ukrainian you will need to have KOI8 Cyrillic
fonts installed on your browsing software.  For MS-Windows users this
package will work with your browser:
ftp://infomeister.osc.edu/pub
    /central_eastern_europe/ukrainian/software/fonts/erkoi8.zip

Much thanks for help in developing these pages goes to several people:
Bohdan Besaha, Gerry Kokodyniak, Larisa Streeter, Maria Sverstiuk, and,
of course, Jan Labanowski.  I myself, though, bear the responsibility
of any errors.

Briefly, also some other additions and modifications:
1) Gerry Kokodyniak contributed two digitized images of the Ukrainian
Tryzub which he himself created, along with a cleaner scan of his
MiG-29 shot; pretty spectacular stuff.  Roman Olynyk contributed
his scan of a Ukrainian stamp.

2) Updated versions of Gavin Helf's Cyrillic fonts, both Truetype and
system, in 1251, KOI8, and AV/866 codings, in four styles (Times, Arial,
Courier, and Architect; a mouthful, no?) have been uploaded to the
software directory.  The file names are:  er1252.zip, erkoi8.zip, and
er866.zip.  (The 1252 has something to do with Gavin's sense of humor,
you know, one more than 1251? Something like that).

For those who don't have access to a Internet browser an item is attached
providing information as to how to access the site and its contents
using ftp and gopher Internet services.

If you have any suggestions for additions or modifications or again, are
aware of errors please let me know.

Much thanks also to those who have included pointers either to all or
parts of items at infomeister.osc.edu - Ukrainian on their respective
excellent Web pages.
These include:
