About
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. Disclaimer
