Dear Saeed,

This sounds good. We have also added a conversion routine to Simredo,
which converts Zarnegar to Unicode and back, when the Zarnegar
document is saved as Taknemadi. We are not sure if and how this is
going to work with other versions of Zarnegar. 
Our plan is to 'release' the convertor as a new version of Simredo,
once all the problems are solved. This is pretty much the case. We had
also tried our hands on the ISCII files of Zarnegar, but this routine
is deffective within Zarnegar itself. i.e. it looses characters!!

I would be very much interested in your routine. Once it works, even
if not perfect, I would like to include it into our Simredo if you
don't mind. We may even farsify the interface of Simredo.

Good luck,
Arash
