I'm interested in what is on the market or available as shareware.

So far, I've discovered two systems that come close to what I want,
and I'm interested if anyone knows about others and can make 
recommendations.

[NOTE: Ukrainian is a Cyrillic language, similar to Russian, but with
several characters that are different].

I know about:
	LETTRIX: an editor that does Greek, Russian, and several
others. Retail Price around $100. Works only 9-pin printers [which
is what I have].  Has the capability to design your own characters
{has anyone tried????}.

	There's also an outfit in Canada [Key Co].that actually sells a
Ukrainian editor, but their system replaces the VIDEO char chip,
and requires a printer that can accept at LEAST 66 downloadable
characters [mine doesn't, and I'm not sure about replacing the
video chip].  [Phone # 613 824-3878]
If anyone needs more info, let me know.


Thanks for any advice or info.
