Hi, Geza, As a special challenge for myself, I undertook the Czech alphabet last year. It was a special challenge both because I didn't know the Czech language and because the Czech alphabet had several special cases (namely "ch"). Here is a link to the first release I did for the Czech alphabet: http://www.escribe.com/internet/rebol/m10477.html A character was missing, so the following contained the final character map: http://www.escribe.com/internet/rebol/m10493.html This was just one approach that I could envision at the time. If I recall correctly, Volker had some other ideas, so you may want to check more of the various threads to see some of the ideas and pitfalls that were discovered: Here was the post that began the challenge: http://www.escribe.com/internet/rebol/m10350.html Here was the post that began the next sequence: http://www.escribe.com/internet/rebol/m10414.html The final sequence began with the first link given in this current email. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck. --Scott Jones -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
