Since my post about the update to ArabTeX the other day, a few people have
inquired about Devanagari TeX for Indian languages (such as Hindi and
Sanskrit) developed by Frans Velthius of Holland.  I checked around and had
some trouble finding the entire package (finally found it at
june.cs.washington.edu), so I fetched it and have made it available from
SHSU, for those who might be interested.  Below is the description file.

                                DEVANAGARI
                                ----------
The DEVANAGARI package includes a 12-part UUENCODEd ZIP file which includes
version 1.2 of Frans J. Velthuis' <velthuis@rc.rug.nl> software for the
printing of the devanagari script with TeX. The devanagari script is used
for a number of languages from  Northern and Central India, such as Hindi
and Marathi. It is also the script used for writing and printing Sanskrit.

The ZIP'ped package contains the following files:
* DNMACS.TEX: macro file for TeX.
* DEV.STY: macro file for LaTeX.
* DVNG8.TFM, DVNG9.TFM, DVNG10.TFM: TFM files.
* DEVNAG.EXE, DEVNAG.C: preprocessor (MS-DOS executable plus C-source).
   If you are using the software on a system other than MS-DOS, then the
   source, DEVNAG.C, must be compiled with a C-compiler, after which the
   executable must be put in a directory where the system can find it.
* MISSPAAL.DN: an example file.
* MANUAL.TEX: the User Manual.
* READ.ME: a start-up instruction file.
* PK files for 300dpi black-writing laserprinters.
* DEFS.MF, DNCHARS.MF, DVNG10.MF, DVNG9.MF, DVNG8.MF: Metafont source files.

The preprocessor can work in two different modes: Hindi mode or Sanskrit
mode. The difference is that in Sankrit mode all the available ligatures
are used, while in Hindi mode sometimes a virama stroke is preferred.
Furthermore, in Sanskrit mode a virama is automaticaly added at the end of
a word if it ends in a consonant.

To retrieve the package of 12 UUENCODEd files, include: 
 SENDME DEVANGARI
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). 
Should you require a selected file from this package, such as
DEVANGARI.UUE_03OF13, include:
 SENDME DEVANGARI.UUE_03OF13
in your mail message to FILESERV.  For anonymous ftp users, the ZIP file
which serves as the base for the encoded distribution parts may be found in
the directory [FILESERV.DEVANGARI] as DEVANGARI-V1-2.ZIP.
