fyi, There was an off-list response to my mail that solved my problem. The encoding for the text file is PC-ISCII which was used by editors such as gist card (hardware), ALP and leap developed at CDAC. Unfortunately these run on windows and not on GNU/Linux. Hence the person was kind enough to convert my files on his machine. --- Regards, Debayan Banerjee Support Free Software http://deeproot.in ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
