SARIT: Search and Retrieval of Indic Texts

[Dipak Bhattacharya]

10 02 09 
With DOS SCRIPT was in use here. That offered many problems. Since the introduction of WINDOWS I have used i-LEAP. Barring the svarita accents in Devnagari and the subscript ring in Roman there is no problem with this. Both can be improvised with flawless end products.The multi-language i-LEAP seems to have been withdrawn but more expensive packages for individual languages are available with CDAC.
The new packages announced in these columns, however, are more convenient than i-LEAP

Hello,
ISM fonts of C-DAC are available for Sanskrit(DV) and Diacritic Roman(DV1).
Only thing is that you have to learn the keyboard outlay.

Sanskrit letters by assigning keyboard strokes to them, not just for  SARIT but
to type diacritics in Word, etc. I have been typing  retroflex t, etc., using a
Sanskrit font then selecting characters  from a Symbol menu. this is very
cumbersome and slow.
