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).
