Using Microsoft's new keyboard creation tool, we created a keyboard layout
based on the latest committee draft for the future national Iranian
keyboard layout. You can download it at:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/farsitools/persiankeyboard.zip?download

Important Note: This only works for Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows
Server 2003.

More Important Note: Please provide feedback, if you have any. Otherwise
this may become a national standard and then suddenly you may start to nag
;-)

Installation Instructions
=========================

1. Download the ZIP file, and unpack it.

2. Go to the directory where you have unpacked the ZIP file, and 
double-click the file called 'Persian.msi' (or right-click on it and 
choose 'Install'). Follow the instructions.

3. Go to the keyboard layouts section of your Control Panel, and choose
the "Farsi" layout to edit. In the small Windows that pops up, choose 
"Farsi" in the first dropdown dialog, and "Persian experimental layout" in 
the second. Press "OK" a few times.

The new Persian layout should now replace the old MS layout.

Known bugs
==========

1. Shift-Space doesn't work. You should use Shift+B for inserting Zero 
Width Non-Joiner.

2. This is a Windows feature: Ctrl+Shift will act like AltGr/right Alt. If
you have shortcut keys assigned to them, they may start to act in a weird
way.
