We've installed it in our lab and are using its User-Defined keyboard to emulate Mac dead-key functions for producing accents and international characters. It's about $8 a pop if you purchase 25 or so -- we've got it set up as a shortcut on the desktop rather than as a an autoload on boot, since a fair number of our users use MSWord 97 as the word-processor of choice. It'll work in any Windows app I've yet run into. Hope this helps, Andrew Dr. Andrew F.

I know this question came up on LLTI a little over a year ago, and at the time the overwhelming consensus was to set the default keyboard to be the US-International keyboard, rather than the regular US one. (The major advantage of this technique is that the keyboard shortcuts are standardized across all Windows applications.) There were also a number of other good suggestions (mostly involving macro recording utilities, Office's autocorrect features, etc.). I was just wondering if this is still everyone's idea of the best solution, or whether there have been any new developments. I've been considering the possibility of a home-grown macro utility that emulates the Office 97 keyboard shortcuts across all of Windows, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone's beaten me to it. Our ITS is preparing to make their public computing labs more foreign language-friendly, and I'm in the process of considering what advice to give them.
