For all the tom-tomers for the Devnagri script Konkan - A simple question : How many of you use the Devnagri script software? This thought was inspired when I sarcastically mentioned that GN was making arrangements to transliterate posts in Devnagri and the very enlightened Prof Borges fell for the spoof.
For the information of all those who accuse me of being against Konkani, I would like to tell you at the risk of being called a boaster, that my institution was one of the first to procure Devnagri software and I saw to it that all my Konkani, Marathi and Hindi teachers typed their papers personally in the Devnagri script. Let me add to the first question : How many of you tom-tomers personally possess Devnagri software? I do. It is only a matter of investing some Rs. 300. How many of you have made efforts to try and see that our schools have free access to Devnagri software? I have. If you are grudging the Rs. 300, for whatever reason then go to the CDAC website - Google for CDAC and download it for free. Its a small download. I DO NOT sell software nor do I have commercial interests in this direction - in fact, I promote Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) but if you want to purchase the software, send me a private mail and I will direct you to the source. -- Tony de Sa. tonydesa at gmail dot com ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v
