The support for tamil in the <#75#>itrans<#75#> package has been possible only because of the help I received from one individual, <#76#>Sriram Tyagarajan<#76#>. I would like to thank him for his help in making me relate the <#77#> itrans<#77#> package to the tamil alphabet, and his patience in proof-reading all the printouts I sent him.
