Can one actually build MSKLC against a custom locale? The
documentation on the easiest way of building a custom locale implies
that it is only available for Windows Vista, whereas I only have XP
and Windows 7. The .klc files MSKLC created use a numerical locale ID
(LCID); I don't see any way to check what the general .klc file format
is - the format seemed very delicate when I had to edit it by hand, at
least, not for the SMP. Neither Akkadian nor Hittite comes up on the
pick list. (I might choose Hittite because the cuneiform font I have
is for Hittite.) I suppose I might have problems with cuneiform
because I chose the only Mesopotamian locale available - Iraqi Arabic.
