No, but Interleaf does! Back when I worked for the Canadian office, we
were given copies of the remapping file so we could do standard
french-canadian keyboards (specifically for Suns: I'm **not** sure we had
one of Apollo). The file is ascii, and is editable. You will need to get
a description of it, as I don't remember its syntax, from someone at
Interleaf... Who have a direct link to Sun, but don't seem to be in my
uucp maps(!?).
I suggest you write a sed script to convert Apollo keymap files into
Interleaf, by the way, and maybe your-own-private-format into Apollo. I
don't find many of the formats particularly intelligable (:-)).
