What is ITRANS? -------------- For complete details visit the home page of the author Avinash Chopde, at: http://www.aczone.com/itrans/ In short, it is a printing system for Indian language scripts such as Hindi, Sanskrit and Marathi ("Devanagari"), Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi ("Gurmukhi"), Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Romanized Sanskrit. Though it is a printing system, on-line viewing is possible via the fonts provided. The input file is processed by the supplied binary "itrans" and the output can be specified to be either a * TeX file for further processing by the LaTeX system, * PostScript file for printing or on-line viewing by GS, Post or HWGPost * HTML file for the web (currently cannot be viewed by any Amiga browser since it needs support for the tag) What is in this archive? ----------------------- This is *not* the complete package; it contains only the Amiga binary which was ported by me.
