you don't need to download anything.
i guess you work in micro$oft windows.

you just have to change settings of the keyboard device (you'll find it in control panel) to Polish (Programmer's) - this one will have all the Polish signs added to the typical US English keyboard layout

Start - Control Panel - Keyboard

Or you can use ASCII codes, hold ALT on your keyboard & type the corresponding number on your numpad URL

Or

Buy a Polish keyboard

Check the following:

Eurola's directions work
Quoting: Eurola
This is simpler than working with Word.

Assuming you work with Windows XP:
1. Control Panel
2. date, Time, language and Regional..
3. add other languages
4. details
5. key settings - choose Polish (Programmers)
6. add - it should put the icon in your task bar
7. click Language bar next to key settings to see if the adding of the icon to the task bar is checked.

It should work. Then type as usual. When you come to a letter that you want it to have a little "thingy" press Alt & Ctr at the same time and voila: ¶æ¿¼
Make sure that the language bar icon in the task bar is checked for polish"programmers'.
It defaults to English




Quoting: krysia
Quoting: sledz
Z¿ still having probs with getting the dot above the ¿ to change to the ¶lash mark

Try the "x"

Hi Lt Navy!
You can get the Polish alphabet at<www.mophy.com>
I paid $20 CDN
You can get a trial version first and then pay to use it.
All you do is press your right ALT key and the letter you wish to use and it will pop up on your computer screen and all you do is double click on the letter and it will "magically" appear!
Good luck!
This is quick and easy!
