namaste & happy new year 1999!! This zip file has the required files for using Avinash Chopde's ITRANS 5.21 for Windows95, for creating Indian script output using true-type fonts. Please unzip it to the root directory using the folder names option in winzip to create ITRANS and it's subfolders. We also use a transliteration mapping program called Translit for formatting of the files for the different scripts. It is assumed that the original encoding is done as par sanskrit transliteration scheme. You may also need cygwin.dll for this program to run. Please let us know if you find any errors in the mappings. We would welcome help from font developers and others in adding true-type font support for other Indian languages. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently the following scripts are supported for HTML page creation: Batch File Scripts Font xdvng.bat Devanagari - xdvng roman.bat Roman CSx - Washington Indic Roman itxguj.bat Gujarati - itxguj itxbeng.bat Bengali - itxbeng adhawin.bat Tamil - adhawin-tamil all.bat for all the above scripts These MSDOS batch files are in the \ITRANS\BIN folder.
