In my last posting, I said I used Windows95 comfortably, but I must withdraw
my words now. Not a single software that I most often use under DOS does not
run. Orfo version 3.0 does not, TIGEr 2.0 (this is better that the later
versions in my view) does not,... Orfo for DOS does limited syntactical
analysis while Orfo for Windows does not; TIGEr won't make more than three
mistakes a page -- these are most precious for me. All the other software
can be dispensed with: in fact better software exist under workstations.
Regarding the keyboard setting under Win95, one only needs to re-write a
resource file where keyboard file is defined. I have been using standard
keyboard layout for 25 years, but have Americans been using homophonic
keyboards when they used Russian typewriter? I don't believe so. Perhaps
in the US exist a young generation in Russian studies to whom computer
keyboard was the first experience. I take a view that the majority belongs to
old-timers when Russia was a world power (i.e. 1950s).
Cheers,
Tsuji
