Unikey Legacy
Unikey Legacy is an Unikey Vietnamese Keyboard Driver distribution for easier installation, deployment, update and maintenance for end-users and system administrators. Thanks to being packaged as a MSI Installation package, it can be installed unattended over a Windows Domain or integrated to a (slipstreamed) Windows Installation Disc.
Unikey Legacy also uses Unikey 3.62 as the base, opposed to 4.0 what is on Unikey.org site due to 3.x superior responsiveness compared to 4.0. Unikey 3.5 works and it's fast, so what the heck?
This version also has the 'w' and '[' and ']' keys behavior corrected. That behavior is very annoying for people who have to frequently type internet addresses.
I have lost the source code but it shouldn't be too hard to make those changes. I will try to publish the code as soon as I can.

It is one of the projects I did for the summer 2009. I would like to thank Amy, Donna, Diane, Jim, Walt and everyone in IT Service, Truman State Univ. for their wonderful support and encouragements, and Hoai-Anh "Jennie" Le for bringing me smiles and being so (endlessly) patient with me.
