Installation:

B) PKUNZIP the contents of plctamil.zip in this directory.

C) Copy the files tamilnet.ttf, tamilnet.fot and vbrun300.dll into the directory c:\windows\system. These files are not included with plctamil.zip, but you can download them separately from the same place where you got plctamil.zip. URL: http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/~plc/tamilweb/tamil.html.

D) Install the font tamilnet.ttf through control panel in windows by clicking the icon "FONTS". You need to select the fonts from c:\windows\system directory and click "Add".

F) Open "File", "New" again. Press OK again.

G)Give a name under description (Ex. Tamil), Under Command line type: c:\tamildir\plctamil.exe and under "Working directory" give c:\tamildir

You should now get an icon "Tamil" in the folder. This is it! Everything else is self-explanatory. This program has some bugs and they will be removed in later versions. More updates will be made as and when it is possible.
