Cyrillic

[Ruprecht von Waldenfels]

Dear List,

I've had this trouble with reading cyrillic for years, as we all have,
and, essentially, I use two methods that serve me well.

I have a very small converter Program called CVT32, that translates
all relevant codepages, and use ULTRAEDIT with font switched to cyrillics
where I paste converted texts (WORD, WORDPAD, NOTEPAD etc. generally
refuse to do the job for various reasons).

The second approach ALLWAYS works (I suspect on all platforms), as long as
you have those nessecary fonts installed and use some fairly new browser
(I use IE and Opera). All you do is you save the message you want to
decode to HTML (or to simple text), open it in your browser and there you
are generally free to choose a cyrillic codepage.

This problem will never be solved before UNICODE is truly here, and I
feel things have become much better already.

yours, Ruprecht v.Waldenfels
