Subject: R14 Cyrillic Drivers
Hi--I'm having problems with installing the R14 Cyrillic driver
program. it causes my screen to "hang"--columns of lines move across
the screen (best way I can describe it) Does anyone out there know
what's wrong? I'm semi-computer literate, so if someone could help
it would be great. thanks.

Subject: Financial aid to Russia
I am a new member to Friends and Partners and a bewildered "newbie" on the
internet. I am a retired professional who spends a great deal of time in an
organization called The Plato Society of UCLA". This organziation is devoted
to continuing learning through member conducted study-discussion groups
(seminars). The groups have a membership of fourteen, and last fourteen weeks.
Each member is responsible for presenting a sub topic to the group for
discussion. I am acting as coordinator (sort of discussion leader) for a
group on "Russia, from Gobachev to Today". It has been an exciting research
prtoject so far and we are just beginning.
In one of the early discussions, a question came up, which I have been
unable to find any information on, and I would appreciate any help.
Last year, President Clinton, in discussing Russia's needs outlined the
necessity of $23 billion in aid, and he approached all of the nations in the
Group of 7 to come forward and participate. The question:
1. How much,if any, of that aid has actually been disbursed to Russia.?
2. Was the funding of the World Bank and the IMF considered as part of the
$23 billion?
3. Were there pledges from other nations, and if so, what was their amount?
4. Were there conditions placed on the disbursal of those funds?
I would appreciate any information from anyone either as the answer or if
they could direct me to a possible source for the answer.
thank you.
