I will always be grateful to RunRev (despite what I have written about 
its second-class Linux offering)
for allowing me to develop a Mac/Win tool for Sanskrit input; it took an 
awful lot of blood, sweat and tears,
and the thought of having to do that twice (i.e. once for Mac and once 
for Win) gives me the shudders.

A while back (1999) I developed something with Hypercard for Mac and 
then the whole thing all over again
for Windows using Toolbook . . . . . . never again he cries, ripping off 
his leopardskin and lolloping off into the
jungle to wrestles with a bear.

However, it would have been lovely to have managed it for Linux as well 
. . .  :)
