the suggestions.

>Dear SEELANGERS:
>
>Several people requested that I reply to the list if/when I was able to
>resolve my problem with Cyrillic keyboard layouts and Mac System X, and I am
>happy to be able to do so now.  Ben Rifkin and Dianna Murphy both forwarded
>me the instructions below; I followed the ones for 10.2, and am now up and
>running.  (Thanks also to the two other people who sent me similar
>instructions.)
>
>As you will read, all you have to do is add ".rsrc" (without the quotes) to
>the name of a keyboard layout and add it into the keyboard layout folder in
>the user's library.  Then you can go and select the keyboard under the
>International icon in Systems Preferences, and the keyboard will appear in
>the menu just like before.  One caveat: At first I was having a problem
>because I was trying to add fonts and keyboards to the library in the System
>X folder itself, and I kept getting the message that these folders could not
>be modified.  Where they had to go was in the library under the "Users"
>folder.  This is something different for Mac users, who have always been
>used to being able to modify the system directly.

>Best regards,
