Thanks Peter, I had hoped for your response as you are the Keyman specialist here. A few others responding off list were of the same opinion. So, no aksharmala, but Keyman. Now I have one more question, related with the next: # X-UML-Sequence: 13313 (2000-04-17 20:30:54 GMT) # X-Nutritional-Content-Warning: Message body contains 53% quoted lines # From: Deborah Goldsmith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # To: "Unicode List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # Cc: Marco Piovanelli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 12:30:53 -0800 (GMT-0800) # Subject: Re: How to create Unicode input methods for MacOS?

If a such a comparison could be made, does the Keyman wizard represent the kind of 'intelligence' of the assembler, or is there a fundamental difference between Windows and Mac systems that makes keyboard editing on Windows less difficult than it is for the Mac in the case of 'uchr'? What's the difference? It may be clear I don't know an assembler from a wizard, but I'm just amazed about the 'problem' at Apple and the (seemingly) simple solution for Windows in this regard.
