Does Latin II include Cyrillic letters? If not, how do you read Russian without
Cyrillic characters? Is it an awkward transliteration? I can read most Latin 1
with extended US-ASCII, code page 850, but I have to mentally translate, knowing
the letters are not all what they look like. e with acute accent looks like
Greek theta, for instance. OS/2 appears strongly geared to US code pages,
very difficult to switch back and forth.
