Recent correspondence about Hebrew (and other) character sets
inspires me to post this - not strictly about Icon itself, but I've
been involved in a family history project transcribing local parish
registers (baptisms, marriages, burials) and I've been using Icon
routines to edit and index the texts. My problem is that in this
area of Welsh Wales lots of place-names used the letters w-circumflex
(still part of standard Welsh) and y-circumflex (obsolete). In
pre-Windows days, I could construct these characters easily using the
patches shown in Alan Corr=E9's Icon Programming for Humanists, but now
I'm looking for a quick and nasty fix that'll work with text
files created by Word 6 under Windows 3.1 or Windows 95. I'm trying
to shortcut using additional editors or formal character sets - the
Vicar wants his books back!
