I've updated chapter 10 of the manual with a description of the Vedic transliteration and Sama Veda macros and posted it at http://kevincarmody.com/tex . I've also updated the changes file. I've posted a manual.pdf, but since I have VTeX, which has not been updated in several years, I think someone with a more current TeX should re-generate this pdf for final release.

Zdenek and Santooran,

I've now reposted the 4 files mentioned below to the same place,
http://kevincarmody.com/tex .

Zdenek, I have an email from you dated 9 February 2009 that says "Thanks,
it's now on CVS."  Maybe you put it there and forgot?

OK, I will look at it, As I wrote, at that time I was working almost
22 hours a day sleeping mainly in the bus when going to the office and
back home. Now I am finishing preparations f my holiday in India but
I'll try to do something before departure.

I have checked these files and they really are on CVS. We should
probably make another release so that the files can go to TeX Live
2009 and to MiKTeX.
I noticed that several files in the 2.15 distribution have old version numbers: dnmacs.tex says version 2.14, manual.tex says 2.14.1, dnchars.mf says 2.12 alpha 10, the *.fd files say 2.14. Would you like me to update these version numbers?
Kevin

Hi Zdenek and Santooran,

Sorry for the delay and the confusion.  I put that fix on my website
temporarily, thinking that one of the developers would soon put it into
the
release version.  Zdenek, has this been done?  If not I will get the
fix
and post it again in a more permanent location on my site.

Please, post it again. At that time I was working almost 22 hours a
day and then I simply forgot.

Kevin

Hi.

i e-mailed you several months back regarding the possibility of making
it
possible to accent - anusvara, anudatta etc. - Roman transliterations
of
Vedam in the same way that the Sanskrit itself is accented.

You sent me a modified file, located on your personal domain, which
had
code to do this. Since we last spoke, i deleted the file.

Is there any chance that you could send me this again?

I looked into my e-mail archive and found the following mail sent to
you and me by Kevin Carmody:

=====
No, that won't fix everything. \| needs to work differently for
transliteration.

I've just developed a fix that works like this:  Use \dnveda only for
Devanagari, and use a new command, \dnvedatrans, for transliteration.
 I've uploaded the fix to my web site at http://kevincarmody.com/tex -
I never could get CVS to work for me.  The fix includes revised
devanagari.sty, dnmacs.tex, vedasample.dn, and vedasample.pdf.
Section 10 of the manual could also use an update also but I haven't
done this.
=====

Unfortunatelly, tha web page mentioned in this mail no longer exists.
I am afraid I do not have my own copy of the modified file.

Many thanks.
