Saluton Ruĝulo,
Hallo Eric,
Hello all,
I have tried to contact Xarilaos by clicking at "Send me a message"
there at Sourceforge's page but there was an error message:
Incorrect Account Type
The recepient has not provided contact details.
Xarilaos, if you're reading this, please contact me. My e-mail address
is provided in the documentation.
If for any reason you have tried it before and, for distraction, I have
deleted your message in my inbox, please accept my apologies. I'll pay
more attention next time.
(With exception of support for the japanese language,) I provided all
codepages and keyboard layouts for FreeDOS. If it is just a matter of
setting it all up, I shall be able to help.
On the other hand, in order to save time, if it's just a matter of
typing greek text on Bloček, I'm pretty sure that setting up your greek
keyboard and any greek codepage is irrelevant. Support for those (and
for any other language, for that matter) is hardcoded into that text
processor. Please contact its developer.
Have a nice day you all,
Henrique
