+NOTE: I changed directory structure a little bit and added
+generated font library cmcyr_lj.fli, so you won't have to learn
+how to use Metafont. See file INSTALL for installation instructions.
+The changes that I did are meant to make installation easier.

+ 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 cyrillic characters.
+
+This directory contains:
+
+readme - this file
+readme.ori - original readme by A.Harin
+cmcyralt.tex - original readme by A.Harin in Russian
+
+mf.zip - METAFONT sources *.mf of cmcyr fonts by A.Samarin and N.Glonti
+ with modifications by A.Harin
+
+vf.zip - Virtual fonts *.vf by A.Harin. This composite fonts
+ reproduce alternative encoding by mapping first half
+ of ASCII table to standard TeX's Computer Modern font
+ and second part to cmcyr fonts in alternative encoding.
+
+vpl.zip - readable analog of *.vf files
+
+tfm.zip - Font Metric files
+
+emtex.zip - Some useful files which can help to set up
+ Russian fonts with emTeX
+
+The LaTeX styles which can be used with these fonts are in CTAN:
+/macros/latex209/contrib/cmcyralt for LaTeX NFSS1
+/macros/latex/contrib/other/cmcyralt for LaTeX 2e
+
+In order to use this fonts and styles you will 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 directory on CTAN).
