WORKING WITH RUSSIAN DICTIONARIES WITHOUT CYRILLICS
DRIVER INSTALLED
###################################################

	To translate English words into Russian or back 
	using Lingvo for Windows, you should install any 
	Windows Cyrillics driver (see chapter 2 of section IV in 
	the User Guide).

	However, you still could make use of Lingvo for Windows 
	without having installed the driver. Just do the 
	following:

		1. Copy XLAT866.BIN file from the installation 
		disk to the Windows directory.

		2. Use Notepad or any other ASCII file editor to 
		open SYSTEM.INI file from the Windows directory. 
		Find the [keyboard] section of SYSTEM.INI file 
		(generally the second section in the file). Look 
		for the string that starts with "oemansi.bin=".  
		Place the column sign ";" before the first 
		character of the string.

		3. Insert an empty string immediately after the 
		string you have changed and type in the 
		following:

			oemansi.bin = xlat866.bin

	This is sufficient to work with Lingvo for Windows using 
	English as interface language. The only problem will 
	remain when using the Headword Window for translation 
	from Russian to English, because you still could not use 
	the keyboard to type in Russian letters.

	If you want to use Russian in menus and messages you 
	should manually change the system font in Windows. In 
	this case do the following:

		1. Locate font files named EGASYSR.FON, 
		VGASYSR.FON and 8514SYSR.FON on the installation 
		disk.  Files are named according to the monitor 
		type.  Choose the file that fits your monitor 
		and copy it to the Windows directory.

		2. Use Notepad or any other ASCII file editor to 
		open SYSTEM.INI file from the Windows directory. 
		Find the [boot] section of SYSTEM.INI file 
		(generally the first section in the file). Look 
		for the string that starts with "fonts.fon=". 
		Place the column sign ";" before the first 
		character of the string.

		3. Insert an empty string immediately after the 
		string you have changed and type in the 
		following:

			fonts.fon = <filename>

		where <filename> will be replaced by the name of 
		the font file you just copied into Windows 
		directory. For example, if you are using a VGA 
		monitor, the string will look like this:

			fonts.fon = vgasysr.fon

BE CAREFUL! Any improper or accidental changes to the SYSTEM.INI 
file may lead to the Windows hangup or malfunction.

You can return Windows to it's previous state by removing column 
signs and the strings inserted according to the previous 
instructions.
