Dear Manoranjan,

Thanks for the details. Description is more clear to me now. I really wan=
t to=20
try it out, but I just have an English keyboard. How do I create Indian=20
Unicode characters? BTW, are there Hindi keyboards around?

Talking of Linux porting, I think you just need to learn Qt which is more=
 like=20
Visual C++ except for it's use of signal and slots instead of Windows=20
messaging. Believe me, it won't be much difficult to pick up. And you can=
=20
have your application run on all Unix/linux and even Windows without any=20
effort except recompile.

PS: Did you know KDE is already ported to Tamil? Another website to be aw=
are=20
of is www.li18nux.com which is engaged in Internationalization of Linux.=20
These guys would be more interested in hearing about your work.
