  Additional info for people who installed e-kalappai but could not 'Write' in thamizh :)
  
  1. After installing e-kalappai you SHOULD re-start the system
  
  2. After re-starting - now run the 'e-kalappai' application again.
  
  You would notice a new icon in your system tray - which would be of 'Tauveltesoft Keyman' - which is the keyboard software which is bundled with e-kalappai
  
  (this tray icon would look like a square with a slight slant)
  
  3. right-click on that icon - you would get a list of options to be chosen.
  
  4. From those - choose 'Keyman Configuration'
  
  5. You would get a configuration box - which will have 2 tabs
  
  i) keyboards
  ii) options
  
  In the 'keyboards' tab - there would be a 'Installed Keyboards' list. Most probably you would have only - 'TSCIIANJAL' listed there.
  
  6. check the box near 'TSCIIANJAL' (put a tick)
  
  7. And in the same 'keyboards' tab - see the other section called 'keyboard details'
  
  you would notice 3 check boxes for 'Ctrl', 'shift' and 'Alt' and also a drop down box containing some options.
  
  8. CHECK only the ALT box ,and from the drop-down list select 2.
  
  (this effectively means that you can switch to 'thamizh writing' mode when you press ALT+2, when e-kalappai has been started and running in the background.)
  
  9. Now go to the other tab - "Options"
  
  There you would have 3 check boxes under "Keyman Off Hotkey"
  
  Select/check/put a tick ONLY in the box near ALT.
  
  And again, there would be a drop-down list near it;from there, choose 1.
  
  (which effectively mean that - from thamizh mode if you want to switch back to normal "english typing" mode, you have to press ALT+1).
  
  10. There will be another Section in the same "options" tab - called "General"
  
  From there check the box near "Start Language indicator with keyman" (put a tick on that box).
  
  11. Now - click on "Apply" and then on "ok".
  
  =====================================
  
  When you run e-kalappai in the background and press ALt+2 again you would notice that the tray icon - changes to '«' ( 'a' in thamizh script).
  
  That means you can start typing in thamizh!
  
  Friends please carefully follow the steps - and give a feedback if it properly works now.

  Now - regarding 'Configuring' the Internet Explore browser - to be able to 'READ' thamizh scripts - please note the following points :
  
  * If your browser is IE, try this :
  
  In the browser menubar -click on 'view' and under it - click on 'Encoding'; you would see a lot of encoding options there like arabic,chinese,japanese et al.
  
  Among those options - find the option 'User-defined'.
  
  It would be listed if you clicked 'More' under that 'Encoding' option.
  
  * Select 'User-defined' and then 'Refresh' the page. you'd probably get to read thamizh scripts on the page directly, if you did this.
  
  * When setting the encoding to "User Defined" , also uncheck "Auto-Select" in the same menu. You dont have to restart.
  
  * Then in your IE browser :
  
  Choose 'Tools' from menubar.
  
  Tools-->Internet Options--> Fonts-->
  
  Choose "User Defined" in Language Script list-box of options.
  
  Now in the section below that - You'd find a list of fonts.
  
  From that - choose TSC..fonts in the two Font selection windows..Click Ok twice...
  
  
  * You should now be able to read pages where TSC fonts are used. Your settings in the Browser are the ones which will determine if you can read Tamil directly or not.
