Actually, that was just what I needed.

BTW, I never look for folks to do my work, but I do look to others for direction. I learned a long time ago that the wheel has already been invented............

Thank you!

Glad you think so ;)

Since you are obviously looking for broader answers than "Russia & Greece", deciding which alphabets are/not Greek and which alphabets are/not "Cyrillic" might "break your teeth", to borrow an idiom from a language with an alphabet that is neither Cyrillic or Greek.

If the linguists do not get into food fights over this question, I'll eat my avatar's hat.

Cheers,

Besides Russia and Greece Cyrillics is used in Belarus, Ukraine, Serbia, Bulgaria, Kazahstan, Uzbekistan, etc. In other words in the Balkans and within the confines of the former Russian Empire.

Darn. Yet again, time wasted on another project.

Next thing you're gonna tell me is that somebody has already come up with a way to manufacture hinges that are "pre-folded".
