I have uploaded in the incoming directory an archive I'd like to
submit for insertion in the CTAN. It is a port to the Macintosh of the
devnag program a preprocessor which is part of the Devanagari package
(in /tex-archive/language/devanagari/distrib/).  It will allow people
working under MacOS to use the Devanagari package : so far the
preprocessor had not been ported to this platform.  It is entirely GPL
free software.

This port has been tested and showed to the authors and maintainers of
the devanagari package (Velthuis and Pr John Smith). Pr Smith
suggested me to submit it to CTAN.

I guess the best location where to put it should be in

    /tex-archive/language/devanagari/contrib/

I have made the C source files of this port available in the
"MacDevnag_src" subfolder. It is up to you to decide if they should be
put on CTAN to.  Everything can be found on my personal Web page :
http://perso.easynet.fr/~berdesg/macdevnag.html There is also a
subfloder called "For Alpha" containing Tcl resources for people
working with the Alpha Latex Editor : they can drive MacDevnag
directly from within Alpha.

Contents of the archive (MacDevnag.sit.hqx 199k):

Thanks four your submission.  I installed it on ftp.dante.de in
CTAN:/tex-archive/language/devanagari/contrib/MacDevnag
together with the contents of your mail as README file.
It will soon be copied to the other CTAN nodes and mirrors.
