Welcome to Accent Composer!

 1997 Kovach Computing Services

Accent Composer is a tool for Windows 95/NT 4 that simplifies the process of entering accented characters with keyboards that do not have special accent keys. It works by waiting in the background until you press a special 'compose key' (the right control key by default). It then traps the next two keys you type and tries to turn them into an accented character.  For example, pressing the compose key followed by '~' and 'N' produces the character . It also works with other extended characters: 'c' and 'o' produces  and '=' and 'Y' produces .

Accent Composer will work with any Windows program running under Windows 95/98 or NT 3.51 or later. It is also customizable: you can change the keys used to produce any particular character and you can change the key that acts as the compose key.

System Requirements
Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 3.51 or later.
