+
+General information
+
+Additional Mac OS X keyboard layout file used with a German
+keyboard.
+
+The Keyboard Layout follows basically the "Neo Layout" (Version 1.1),
+a proposal for an ergonomic optimized German Standard Keyboard from
+Hanno Behrens in 2004 (see http://www.neo-layout.org).
+
+The keyboard layout file is approved under the SIL Freeware License
+and the keyboard layout itself is approved under the GNU general
+Public License.
+
+
+Installation
+
+Unpack the archive file and copy the .keylayout and .icns file
+into the folder .../Library/Keyboard Layouts. Create this folder
+if it does not exist already.
+
+After a log out and log in back again, the keyboard layout can
+activate in "System Preferences" and "International", "Input Menu".
+
+If "Show input menu in menu bar" is active, you can switch between
+the active keyboard layouts in the menu bar.
+
+
+Background
+
+The keyboard layout can used additional to a standard keyboard
+layout, in general all German characters are available too.
+
+The keyboard layout is most similar to the implementation of the
+"Neo Layout" (Version 1.1) by Hanno Behrens for Windows and Linux
+respectively the X Window System.
+
+The keyboard layout does not fit to the implementation of the Neo
+keyboard layout for Mac OS X from 2005.
