Now you mention it... I remember now that the Latin script is also used by (the majority of?) the Belorussian community in Poland, and that it is advocated by at least part of the Belorussian opposition. I looked at the website you directed me to, and realized that this script is really a Polish derivate.

Yes, and have a nice weekend! Jan ===== "You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." --- J. Michael Straczynski __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
