Subject: CYRILLIC FONTS and email use

SESAME Computer Projects have developed SEDIT - a "language layer" to enable
multilingual database, word processing and spreadsheet provision.
The MS-DOS version is now available for the most heavily used most
non-ideographic scripts, and a Windows version is being developed in
parallel.

The email enhancement allows transmission and receipt of any text without
loss of information, to cover all non-ideographic scripts (i.e. all outside
of China, Japan and Korea).

The current version provides for all languages which use accented Latin
script, Greek, Cyrillic, Georgian and Armenian and all Indian scripts. It has
been tested for usability with users in all these languages, and takes
account of the views of registered users in providing updates to the software.

A version for Hebrew and Arabic scripts is nearing completion, and a version
for Southeast Asian scripts is at the advanced planning stage.

Further information is in the document SEDIT.INF which contains up to date
information on how the SEDIT package enables the multilingual editing,
display, printing of text, as well as enabling transmission and receipt of
any text without loss of information.

If you (and/or other users that you may like to forward this to) want to get
further information, including how to obtain the software, please simply
reply to sedit at sesame.demon.co.uk with this message:

GET SEDIT.INF - INFORMATION SOURCE: <LISTNAME>

Although this resembles a listserver command, Sedit at sesame.demon.co.uk is NOT
a listserver that only responds to a limited number of preset commands.
A human being is at the other end, which means that you can simply reply using
the GET SEDIT.INF command (upper or lower case) AND/OR send normal email
correspondence/queries etc., which will receive a human reply.

Please feel free to forward this to any other users who may be interested:
some may wish to take advantage of much lower prices during September 1995.
