WITHFONT: Run program on EGA/VGA with a given font. Ver 1.2. Aug 21 1992
Copyright (c) 1991 by Yossi Gil, P.O.Box 3148, Jerusalem, ISRAEL. 

  Usage: withfont <fontfile> <command> [args]

Will run <command> on <args> using a text-mode font loaded from <fontfile>.
The fontfile name should be of the form *.fYY, where YY is the font height
in pixels (a 2 digit number in the range 04-32). If the font height cannot be
determined from the file name, then it is set o the file size divided by 256.
The font load will not be effected by command changing the video mode.
WITHFONT is a good cure of the MS-DOS 3.3+ nlsfunc, CodePage blurb.

EXAMPLE      withfont cp862.f16 hebedit hebfile

BUGS         o   Executed command should not go TSR.
             o   Internal commands ('DIR' and such) will not be located
             o   Does not work on adapters other than EGA/VGA

  package is under the same restrictions as of Rhaul Dehsi ZOO program. If

LRUS31.ZIP      Cyrillic screen/keyboard driver for EGA/VGA

Driver of cyrillic screen/keyboard for  EGA/VGA.  Ver.3.10.  This driver
allows the use of the cyrillic alphabet on IBM-compatible computers
with EGA, VGA, SuperVGA, EG-3000(A) etc.  With CGA, Mono and Hercules
adapters special ROM is needed.  The driver supports all EGA modes
except special 9x14 text font, which is practically never used.  By Dr.

There are mainly two cyrillic fonts for TeX/LaTeX:

a) cyr-ifve (also called cmcyr). Russian characters only. Blend very well with
the cm-fonts.

b) wncyr. Also including zusatz letters for byelorussian, serbian and
makedonian cyrillic. Blend less well with cm, but still good.

Both fonts are available as METAFONT sources from the famous TeX servers
(ymir.claremont.edu, tex.ac.uk, ftp.uni-stuttgart.de, and others)

Yours, J"org Knappen.
