Dear Hayim, 

Sorry not to reply more promptly. I've been offline for a couple days. 

As Peter Kirk replied the files Russian.bmp, russfonouni.kmn,
russfonouni.kmx are used in the Keyman program.

The Russian.lng is a UTF8 text file for Toolbox which can be edited in
notepad in XP, which I developed for my own use - my gift to y'all. It
is used to define the properties of the character set used by Russian in
Toolbox. It tells Toolbox the sort orders, the correspondence between
upper and lowercase characters, what is a consonant, vowel, labial,
etc., and what character set to use, font, keyboard, etc.

Happy lexicographing!!!

Ken
