I should have factored in the 'media' reference. Not what the lingo sounds like, what it looks like. Countries in Africa that use English for official purposes all sport (usually many) indigenous languages that typically use a Roman alphabet extensively enriched with diacritics to represent specific phonic or tonal variations. Meanwhile English is written in a standard way--despite the insanity of English orthography in general. ;-(

Nowadays it's AFAIK available in any Windows version. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
