-
- Hello,
-
- Thank you very much for writing back regarding the modified KCHR (0) resource
- in System 7. I sincerely appreciate your concern for all those other font
- providers and all those users whose "cries of woe" might be heard throughout
- the computer world, given that you have already prepared special KCHR resources
- for your own product.
-
- Hopefully, the picture will not get so pathetic. After all, the SOt SOz SOx
- assignments you mention can still be produced (using the dead-key combinations
- <option-i, E>, <option-i, U>, and <option-`, U>).
- And on the other hand, System 7 provides the facility (for the end user!) to
- drag a KCHR resource (provided its filetype is 'kfil', and its creator 'movr',
- and the ID does not conflict with other KCHR resources already present) into
- the System file, and to select among the available KCHR's by means of the
- 'Keyboard' control panel. You will find such a "Keyboard layout file", named
- <oldUS>, in the accompanying diskfile.
-
- Nevertheless, I understand the hassle this implies in the situations you are
- referring to. Unfortunately, I cannot be of much help regarding the possibility
- of a re-revision of the new KCHR (0) layout.
-
- In my last link, I did not know if you had easy access to Inside Macintosh
- Vol. 6; I should have immediately joined the pages I referred to. Please, find
- them in the accompanying diskfile "IM Vol.6 (KCHR).PKG" !
-
- Best regards,
