WordPad) in order to see the special characters.

What 3-D Keyboard Does
======================
3-D Keyboard makes it simple to type all the characters in your fonts, not
just the ones shown on your keyboard. While using any Windows application,
3-D Keyboard lets you easily type: West European languages (      
     etc.), fractions (  ), currency symbols (  ), math symbols
(  ), typographical symbols (     etc.) and many other useful
symbols (   etc.). Dead keys are supported for typing accented letters.

Thirteen keyboard layouts are provided. You can switch layouts with a
keypress and customize them using a visual drag and drop procedure. The
window displays a map of the current layout, which you can resize and keep
on top of other windows if you like. When you shrink it to an icon, the
icon indicates which layout is active.

Installation and System Requirements
====================================
3-D Keyboard 2.5 requires Windows 95, NT, or 3.1 and 300 KB of disk space.
To install, run the program 3DKBInst.EXE (under Windows 95 or NT 4.0,
choose Start/Run from the Taskbar; under Windows 3.1 or NT 3.51, choose
File/Run from Program Manager's menu).

License and Ordering
====================
This is an evaluation version. It is fully functional at first, but will
stop working after 45 days. To continue using it after that, you may
