Aided with a Cyrillic
keyboard the RussianEditor has
extensive text conversion functionality and enable Russian text to
be converted between code pages and text formats.
The virtual Cyrillic keyboard used in the RussianEditor can be set phonetically or set as a standard Russian keyboard used on Cyrillic typewrites and on Russian PC
using Windows.
The RussianEditor can convert
Cyrillic character in ANSI formats between code page 1251 used on
Cyrillic Windows machines and code page 1252 used on western based
Latin PC:s.
The RussianEditor can therefore cheat
the limitation normally encountered working with Cyrillic text on
western windows.
With this editor it is possible to
share Cyrillic text files made on Russian machines and convert it
into other text formats.
This has been an obstacle because
Cyrillic text stored in ANSI text file can not be converted to
ANSI code used in the Russian code page.
ANSI is used in
Windows for ordinary 1 byte texts. ANSI which is used in Windows
is similar the well known ASCII format used in computing in UNIX
machines.
There are two options for the clipboard conversion functions. One is text conversion of ANSI text
between code pages. The other is text conversion between UNICODE,
Rich Text or HTML text formats. The 1 byte code for text in the
ANSI text format can be converted to the 2 byte code used IN
UNICODE.
