Main Codepage (Language) switching for Windows 9x/ME
without Windows Reinstall

version 0.96a beta: 17-jul-2001. Locale.nls and display.sys
  are now excluded from SYSUPD. They was unnecessary 
  (even harmful), however multilanguage unicode.bin still
  essential for non-english file names. 
version 0.95beta: 21-jun-2001. Locale.nls from Win'98 is
  incompatible with OSR2. So SYSUPD install causes system 
  crash.;-( At now files from OSR2 are placed into SYSUPD, and 
  I hope that correct the situation.
version 0.94beta: 18-mar-2001. ResourceLocale isn't changed now,
		  this readme correction, russian readme.
version 0.93beta: 14-feb-2001. Windows ME support,
                  hebrew additions, this readme correction.
version 0.92beta: 14-jan-2001. This readme (including e-mail) 
                  correction. Please write about troubles...
version 0.91beta: 05-jul-2000
