Many, many thanks to Stamatis Kapetanakis.

You’re welcome… hope u meet ur goal.

Having got back from a day with some very old friends up in the mountains, I was just set to produce an up-dated chart of today's donations when we got an electrical cut.

Hence this message from my mobile phone.

Obviously the Gods were listening.

While development of the codebase of Devawriter Pro continues, there will be no new standalones available until that second-hand iMac is in place.

A highly complex piece of code reads iTRANS documents and re-encodes them into readable Devanagari script, thereby enabling a lot of work that was done on the behalf of a guru who was imprisoned for attempted murder in Switzerland [ROFL], so was obviously 'a bad egg', to be saved, and all that work by misled followers of his not to go to total waste.

Obviously these sorts of service inwith Devawriter Pro need to continue, with more being offered (even if only because gurus seem to be going off the rails with an unseeming frequency), and that can only happen if I have access to the types of hardware that can cope with my "development rig".

Thanks for the entertaining reads
