+ LaTeX 2e style for Russian fonts in alternative encoding.
+
+The alternative encoding is de-facto standard on MS-DOS PC computers
+in Russia. In this encoding first half of code table (0-127) coincides
+with standard ASCII and cyrillic characters are located in second part
+of the table (128-255). Usually some simple screen and keyboard driver
+is used in order to type Russian text.
+
+This directory includes:
+
+ readme - this file
+ cmcyralt.sty - main style file
+ *.fd - font driver files
+
+ hyphen.cfg - Russian hyphenation
+ rhyphen.tex
+
+ rusfonts.tex - samples and tests
+ karabas.tex
+ kniga.tex
+ otchet.tex
+ statya.tex
+ pismo.tex
+
+In order to use cmcyralt style you need Russian fonts in alternative
+encoding. These fonts is available from CTAN in /fonts/cmcyralt
+Actually it is composite virtual fonts which reproduce alternative
+encoding by mapping first half of ASCII table to standard TeX's
+Computer Modern font and second part to cmcyr fonts.
+
+The cmcyralt style replaces basic LaTeX fonts by these virtual fonts.
+Just place all *.sty and *.fd files into LaTeX input directory and type
+
+ \usepackage{cmcyralt}
+
+in the preamble of your document. Now you can type any English and
+Russian text (in alternative encoding) in any order. No any special
+font switching commands is required. Invoked with the option russtyle
+
+ \usepackage[russtyle]{cmcyralt}
+
+cmcyralt style not only introduces Russian fonts but replaces also
+all (well, I hope all) standard English words which LaTeX uses in
+standard styles and classes by their Russian equivalents.
+So "Chapter 1" now will be printed as "Glava 1", "References"
+as "Ssylki" or "Literatura" etc.
+
+Since alternative encoding uses codes higher than 127 for Russian
+characters you need TeX which understand 8-bit input, and drivers
+which understand virtual fonts. The best choice for MS-DOS PC is
+emTeX and its dvidrv drivers (/systems/msdos/emtex on CTAN).
+
+If you want to have correct hyphenation for Russian you need to
+generate new LaTeX 2e format file. Put hyphen.cfg (for LaTeX2e before
+Dec. 94 this file must be renamed to lthyphen.cfg) and rhyphen.tex in
+LaTeX input directory and call iniTeX. In particular, for emTeX you
+have to type
+
+ tex /i /o /8 /mt15000 latex.ltx
+
+This produces format with both English and Russian hyphenation tables.
+Notice, that this format must be invoked with the same /mt switch
+
+ tex /mt15000 &latex document.tex

+P.S. I added styles russian.sty, glava.sty supplied by
+Viktor Boyko and fancychapter.sty.

+glava.sty:
+ This package makes table of contents suitable for documents where chapters
+ have no names (such as in most Russian books).

+
+
+russian.sty:
+ This package redefines several LaTeX defaults for printing Russian
+ documents in alternative encoding. Uses packages cmcyr and
+ indentfirst. By Victor Boyko (vb1890@cs.nyu.edu). 01/18/95.
+
+ Most probably, you will *not* need this package, since
+ option russtyle of cmcyralt already does most of the stuff
+ done by russian.sty.
+ However, these styles are slightly different, and you may
+ find something in russian.sty that you may want to use in your
+ documents (like \frenchspacing).
