Subject: Austrian Patch for Mac OS 8.5


So Apple forgot about Austria. They have localization codes for almost 
any country, including Lapland and the Faeroe Islands, but not for the 
country of Mozart, Beethoven, Sachertorte and The Sound of Music.  ;-)

So far, this didn't matter all that much, but since OS 8.5 it does. You 
see, OS 8.5 offers automatic compatibility for non-Western web pages, and 
if you install this feature, you have a permanent keyboard menu in your 
menu bar (as you did in OS 8 if you had more than one keyboard mapping 
selected in the Keyboard control panel).

This means that Austrian users have to stare at the German flag all the 
time while they're sitting at their computer. I decided to change that.

This little patch adds some Austrian data to your system file, 
*replacing* the corresponding German ones. You'll notice the difference 
in the control panels Date & Time, Keyboard and Numbers, plus, of course, 
in the keyboard menu.


This patch only works with the US-English version of Mac OS 8.5. It does 
not yet work with the German version. I will make a patch for the German 
OS as it becomes available.
