<div><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana" SIZE=3D3> Dear friends,</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana" SIZE=3D3> =A0</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana" SIZE=3D3> I had mentioned this some=
 months ago on this list. The paper is now available at the=
 following url:</FONT></div>

<div><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana" SIZE=3D3> Fred just asked for and=
 received a sneak preview of the paper a couple of days=
 ago:-)</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana" SIZE=3D3> =A0</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana" SIZE=3D3> It is an exceptionally=
 painstaking work that condenses both Prof. Krishnan's thoughts=
 on Unicode for Indian language computing and the SDL approach to=
 multilingual computing for our country. </FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana" SIZE=3D3> =A0</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana" SIZE=3D3> Venky, you mentioned in the=
 mail about Mozilla localization that ISO is waiting for Indian=
 language developers to settle to some encoding. Hopefully, Prof.=
 Krishnan's labour of love for the past twenty years for Indian=
 language computing and his rich experience will</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana" SIZE=3D3> have a place in that=
 discussion. In fact, Netscape approached him=A0 some years ago for=
 localising its browser.</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana" SIZE=3D3> =A0</FONT></div>
<div><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana" SIZE=3D3> As always, you can send your=
 comments and suggestions on the paper to=
 rk...@ac...</FONT></div>

<div><FONT FACE=3D"Verdana" SIZE=3D3> P.S: By the way, it was=
 magnanimous of Prof. Krishnan to acknowledge my help in the=
 intro page. Rest assured that my effort was mere window dressing=
 and I didn't write a single word:-)</FONT></div>
