MultiLex 4.0 R/E & E/R dictionaries

[Timothy D. Sergay]

Dear Harald and SEELANGers,

    As I recall from doing a few installs under Windows XP, there's a window
very early in the installation sequence for MultiLex 4.0 that allows you to
choose either English or Russian for installation instructions. Choose
English in any case. Try inserting the disk from scratch: if you see any
window with a radio button opposite "English" (even if the rest of the
characters are scrambled), choose English and you should be good to go. Have
your hard copy manual (rukovodstvo) handy: you'll need to enter a word of
text from a specified page.

    If that doesn't work under Win 2000, I agree with David: go to Fingertip
(not Finger soft) Software, specifically, http://cyrillic.com/csw/index.html
and investigate the program called "Cyrillic Support 2000". This program
will gently and automatically make the registry and code page changes you
need to install Cyrillic "system fonts"; these enable your NON-Russian
Windows system to display Cyrillic dialogue windows properly, allowing you
to use Russian-produced software with very few problems indeed. Window title
bars will start showing up in proper Cyrillic, too. The program may look
pricey, but it's worth the cost. If problems or questions arise, write to
Peter Cassetta at Fingertip: pete at cyrillic.com.

Good luck,

Tim Sergay
