Kirk, 

No worries on the replies - my work has a shared folder that is subscribed, 
so I'll be able to eavesdrop on any public discussion of the tool. If the 
on-list discussion of the tool looks like I should reply on-list, I'll get 
myself subscribed.

The message to forward:


I've designed a Unicode biblical Hebrew keyboard layout for Windows 2000 and 
Windows XP users. It was created using the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, 
so it doesn't require any third party keyboard management software.

It was specifically designed to follow the conventions of the SBL Hebrew 
font, so while it will work quite well with most Unicode fonts, certain 
characters that were supported outside the Unicode 4.0 standard - such as the 
reversed nun - might not display correctly in other fonts.

More information and (free) downloadable installation and documentation files 
can be found at:

If anyone has feedback or suggestions concerning the layout, email 
suggest AT logos.com, and comments regarding the Hebrew keyboard will get to me.

Cheers!

Vincent,

We'll be happy to forward this on to the b-hebrew list. However, we will
not forward relevant responses back to you; our time is very limited,
our work for b-hebrew a labor of love and it's too hard to remember to
do it.

I recommend that you subscribe to b-hebrew; it's easy; you can subscribe
to the daily digest so your email box won't be flooded and you can
simply search for responses to it. You can post your message as you wish
and then watch for responses.

To subscribe to b-hebrew, go to:

http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew

If you don't wish to do this, then here is what I recommend:

Write a message about your keyboard layout, including instructions on
where to send feedback (an email address, for example). Then email that
message to <b-hebrew AT lists.ibiblio.org>. You will get a message that
your message is waiting for moderator action. I will be watching for
your message (and cc'ing the other moderators on this message), and we
will pass it on through.

Blessings,

Kirk

The oboe's a horn made of wood.
I'd play you a tune if I could,
But the reeds are a pain,
And the fingering's insane.
It's the ill wind that no one blows good.
