WORD-PROCESSING
 
 
STEPS  

1. Language Setup. 
2. Download Beta.  
     File Name : Wgreek19.zip (Share-ware) 
     File Size : 286 KB  

Beta is a right to left text converter. As with all windows based Western software the standard "left to right" wordprocessing has been overcome by using a sharware program titled "Beta". As the Assyrian language is written in a "right to left" format, Beta will, when enabled, reverse a normal Western based windows input and allow it to write from right to left. 
The program is 16 Bit  software usable in Win 95 provided the word processing software you plan to use is also 16 bit. e.g  Netscape Communicator Pro 4.05 (16 Bit Version) and/or Microsoft Word 6.0. Thus Beta is only compatible with Windows 3.1X and Windows 95.  

3. Unzip the wgreek19.zip file. 
4. Unzip the cnv_util.zip file into the c:\Beta directory, which you should create on your 
     hard-drive. 
5. Create a shortcut icon, for the beta.exe file, found in the c:\Beta directory,  and place it  
    on your desktop.  
    The following icon should now appear on your desktop.   
For advanced users the help files that come with the beta can be opened and used to get further information.    

6. Start Beta by double clicking the following desktop icon. Once open use the  
     Control-Shift-H to enable the right to left text input required for an Assyrian  
     wordprocessor.   
Beta Hot Keys    
Return    :  End + Return    
Backspace   :  Delete    
Control-Shift-H   :  Right to Left Text Input (Assyrian)    
Control-Shift-E   :  Left to Right Text Input (English)    
Control-Shift-X   :  Disable Beta    
Alt-F4    :  Close Beta    

7. Run your chosen 16 bit wordprocessor.    
8. Now align all text to the right by pressing the Control-R keys.    
9. Select the font you want to typewith.  e.g.Assyria's Letters(V1.3). 
10.You are now ready to input Assyrian text into English programs using the keyboard
maps provided.
