Matvey Palchuk has produced a seminal document on the Russification of
the Macintosh Computer, a collection
of documents at the University of Pittsburgh dedicated to enabling
Macintosh users with an Internet connection
to work with Russian text in KOI8 format. You will find instructions
that are focused on acquiring and
installing the necessary system resources, such as KOI-8 fonts,
keyboard layout, and (optional) Russian script
or Russian version of System 7.0.1. A major part of this site is also
dedicated to configuring client applications
of such Internet services as TELNET, e-mail, WWW, USENET, etc.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR APPLE MACINTOSH "SPEAK" RUSSIAN Learn exactly how
to do it. You get a list of system resources (e.g. the Russian version of
System 7), the MacCyrillic.FAQ, and some notes on configuring MacTCP
applications and terminal emulation, and other materials on russification.

- Magellan's by the McKinley
Group, Inc. Review
of this server is as follows:
The Russification of Macintosh isn't about an international takeover of
Apple Computers. Rather, its sole purpose is to distribute shareware
programs and keyboard layouts that allow Mac owners (and businesses) to
read and write the Cyrillic alphabet. The second edition (Feb. 1996) of
the site is significantly improved with solid layout and a simplified
four-step process for installing the programs on your Mac. Every link that
you need is embedded within the text and clear instructions help you along
at every step. More detailed explanations are available for those who wish
to 'nerd out' on the technical side of the process, but this is optional,
not required.
