See the attached file.  If you rename it from .txt to .csv, you can open it
in Excel as well.

It is not.

You should always add a semicolon to these, since although some browsers are
forgiving about it, others are not:  type "ʔ" rather than "&#660".

It does not matter.  What is important is to avoid typing s with caron
(aka hac^ek), z with caron, oe-ligature, and capital Y with diaeresis
(small y is safe) directly, as these use codes that aren't recognized
by non-Windows systems reliably.  Instead, use the numeric values from
the attached file.

It is still part of Netscape 7.x, and it will work on Windows XP.  Efforts are
underway to make it available as a stand-alone program.
