KOI8-R KEYBOARD DRIVER
for Windows
(with "Native" and "Student" layouts)
CyrWin is a shareware keyboard driver that allows you to type
Cyrillic in any program - email, word processor etc. If you don't already
have a keyboard driver capable of Cyrillic KOI8 coding, you should download
and install CyrWin.
Download "KOI8KBD.EXE"
(31K Archive) to your computer's \WINDOWS directory;
It must be in the /Windows directory
to work properly.
- Double click or Run it as a program using the Start menu to uncompress.
- Run \WINDOWS\CYRWIN.EXE to load the Cyrillic keyboard; (it is designed
to work in the background, it starts minimized so you will find it at the
bottom of your screen, or by toggling the Alt and Tab keys).
LAYOUT NAME: Select either the "Native" or "Student"
keyboard layouts within CyrWin.
- Choose koi8_ru.kbd to install the "Native"
Russian Keyboard Layout. This is the "Qwerty-type" layout found
on Russian typewriters.
- Or, choose koi8_st.kbd to install "Student"
Russian Keyboard Layout. The Student keyboard layout is a more intuitive
layout for many English speakers because the keyboard is arranged phoeniticaly
(i.e. ç = G, and đ = P).
SWITCH KEY: This is the "Hot Key" that you will press
to switch between Cyrillic and English.
To remove KOI8-R TrueType Fonts use standard MS Windows procedure for
deleting fonts. To remove Cyrwin delete the following files from \WINDOWS
directory: CYRWIN.EXE, ALTKBD.DLL, KOI8_RU.KBD, KOI8_ST.KBD
