Just over a week...

...before I leave for Kazakhstan. Just the thought is enough to send shivers down my spine, since there are a ton of things to get done before I leave! OTOH, there are also five work sessions between now and then, too! (That leaves two days for travel and packing.)

I've just spent some time helping install CyrHack V on someone's Zire 71. Actually, it installs without a hitch; writing some letters, though, such as "Ч" and "Ф" doesn't work, though. In the former case, the advertised 'graffiti' doesn't work; in the latter, a second stroke (which looks something like a circumflex drawn backward) doesn't trigger anything, so the "О" you start out with doesn't change into a "Ф".

Looking at the "new, improved" Graffiti 2 in the new Palm doesn't impress me. The "i" now requires two strokes to write (they added the dot, unless you really wanted a capital "I"), made the "t" a two-stroke letter, and eliminated the one-stroke "k". The new punctuation is a complete mystery (I get the feeling it's easier to master the Masonic handshake than to enter a semicolon under the new scheme).

I just hope my shift ends before they try to synch a memo with Cyrillic in it.

Cheers...

Palm lost its license to use Graffiti; Graffiti 2 is derived from another handwriting recognition package altogether and bears no resemblance to the original, as you've noticed.
Shame.

Wow. I didn't know that! (As you point out, it does explain some things.)

Cheers...
