\(ROMAN20)Shareware\>
\(ROMAN)Shareware is a well defined term in the software world. There
is even an association of shareware developers. Shareware software is
not 'public domain' software nor is it 'freeware' or free software.
The software is copyrighted just like other commercial software. You
are allowed to copy it from other users and use it for evaluation
purposes without any payment. However, it is your moral obligation to
compensate for the expenses incurred by the author, by sending the
registration fee, if you continue to use it on a regular basis. It can
be copied and distributed to others provided, no fee is charged and
the author is intimated of such a distribution promptly. These
programs are the exclusive copyright of the author. The author would
appreciate receiving a copy of the magazine, newsletter or similar
material using this software. La version Française de ce logiciel est
disponible sur demande.
\(ROMAN20) Installation\>
\(ROMAN) The installation customizes the batch file GO.BAT for your
graphic card. If you have a harddisk, create a sub-directory named
TAMIL. Log on to that sub-directory. If you have no hardisk, log on to
drive B. Place the original disk in drive A. \j
C> COPY A:*.* {copies all files}
C> GO {starts the installation procedure}
\J Installation is optional. You can also use the programs T.EXE,
P.EXE, directly. If your hard disk has versions of the ADAMI software
3.0 or earlier, you should convert them to normal files using ATTR
command of DOS and delete all of them (except your own files) before
installing the new software. Many of the files were read only. If you
have created your own fonts using the version 7.0 or earlier, contact
the author.
Whenever you want to re-install or change the installation options,
type INSTALL instead of GO anytime.
\(ROMAN20) Operation\>
\(ROMAN) Type GO Filename at the DOS Prompt. If you omit the filename,
file with the name UNNAMED.TXT will be used. Press <SAVE> to save and
preview the file. The transliterated text appears on the screen. The
screen returns to the editor. Press <PRINT> when ready to print on
paper. To quit press the <QUIT> key. If you <SAVE> under a different
name, it will be necessary to save and quit to DOS once, then start
again with GO Filename. Otherwise the old file will continue to appear.
\(ROMAN20) Preparing a text in Tamil\>
\(ROMAN) Prepare a text in standard ASCII code, as it would be
pronounced in English. The program has built in intelligence to choose
the right Tamil word in most cases. The letters b, ch, d, dh, g, h, j,
k, l, m, n, p, r, s, sh, t, th, v, x(ksha), y are pronounced as in
English. The vowels and certain alphabets should follow the phonetic
convention shown below. Note that with certain alphabets the upper case
and lower case letters have different phonetics.\j
