Let me take this opportunity to thank Chowdary garu, Desiska Raju, 
and other TANA members whom I don't know personally. I wish I had
enough expertise in Windows to make RIT 3.0 available on 
Windows. 

For interested people, it is available on unix at 
http://cygnus.horizoncomp.com. I reshuffled the Potana font
to make it suitable for viewing in netscape. To avoid
any confusion, the reshuffled font is renamed as Tikkana.
Prasad Chodavarapu has written a visual editor in Java
which should work on all platforms supported by Java Windows, Mac,
as well as unix. His editor doesn't use Tikkana font yet, but he
is looking into supporting Tikkana.


Coming back to the isssue of classical culture (or high brow culture 
if you wish) I wonder how the artists take it. Do they understand that
they are unlikely to occupy the center stage at TANA conf.
