I'd love to hear the details -- can anyone tell me what these are? Where do such keystroke conventions come from? Latin-2 characters are intended to handle Albanian, Czech, German, Hungarian, Polish, Rumanian, Serbocroatian (the Latin-alphabet form, of course), Slovak, and Slovene. So basically East Europe. I don't have a machine-readable listing of the 96 upper-half characters, so I'm reluctant to do all that typing from the ISO document! Bruce Sherwood bas@andrew.cmu.edu or bas@andrew.bitnet
