Dear SEELANGer's:

I've found it to be a very difficult task finding a method to convert
Cyrillic PC to Mac with a Mac. Cyrillic Central apparently is a Windows
only application and thus is not available to me. I have CP1251, KOI-8,
CP866, AppleStandard Cyrillic, and a 7 bit Apple Cyrillic fonts installed
on my machine none of which seems to work very well. I correspond with
someone in Ukraine does anyone know if there is a different Win95 Ukrainian
standard? I have MacLink which will allows my machine to read English PC
files which works fine but not with Cyrillic PC.

Thanx

Richard Gilmore
