<This article is NOT worth converting to telugu, as it is all english>
_____________________________________________________________________


Before you start getting excited, check whether you have the following

1. A sun workstation.
	Ultrix users contact Kishore -- recommended that you wait for him
		to post on the net.
2. Openwindows 2.0 or higher (the latest version is 3.0, while 2.0 is about 4 yrs old?)
3. You have atleast 400 Kilobytes of diskspace left.
4. You have LaTeX installed on your computer.
5. You have the xdvi LaTeX previewer program.  Plain old dvipage will suffice, but
	one has to a reasonably good user of unix computers and one must know how
	to edit shell scripts.  I can help if someone cannot ... (actually, I am
	trying to take some of the load off kishore and rama rao gaaru).
5. You know how to cut and paste from one window to another.

Well, then do the following.  The `$' is the UNIX prompt.


$ cd $HOME

$ ftp ftp.uu.net		< I got a feeling that kishore is going to take it off !>
connecting to ftp.uu.net
......
login (<your-id>):	type anonymous
password required for anonymous
password : 		type your complete email address.

ftp> cd tmp

ftp> binary

ftp> get tel.tar.Z		Note the capital Z.

ftp> bye
Goodbye...

$ uncompress tel.tar.Z

$ tar -xvf tel.tar

$ cd rts

$ rit

        Rice Inverse Transliterator Version 0.1
----------------------------------------------------------------

<type anything in telugu script> and watch your happiness disturb your roomies !!

<Press Control-D> after you are done.

<Wait  for about 1 minute, for slow systems, and 20 secs for fast systems>/

<End of my instruction manual>
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

If you have usenet readnews on one window, then copy each article piece by piece
from usenet window to another window, in which you have rit running.  or
alternatively, save the article, use a program that strips the header (definitely
recommended) and pipe the result to the rit program.  I have readnews on one machine
latex on another, while I open windows from these machines  on a third machine.
So I have my problems.  But I have nothing to complain.

Say, aren't we insulting the whole state now !! 

Do you think you deserve similar praise of your ancestry ?


If you have something to say to a person, send the crap to that person
 and not post it to the newsgroup.  


Some more of this crap and I am sure a lot of decent people will be lost
 to this group for ever.


Let us hope the personal bashing trash stops here.

Hi, I just thought it would be nice to start a thread
on telugu "DwandhArthAlu". Vetoori has popularized such
an art in telugu films. Lets see how many of us would
come up with such suntences(only decent ones please)

To start, here is one from me:

rit program uses two formats.  Clearly, the rir script sucks.  Here it is :-

The other nicer script...  some of which is accepted in rit ...
This is MY recommendation.  I cannot like any script that does not treat t as
in taata (grandfather) -- becasue it is natural.  Though many like th instead
of t, we have to be consistent for all the words.

a aa i I(ee) u U(oo) .. .. E EE ai o O ow M(@) :(this is aha)
..............
y r l v S SH s Ha X tra gny
	^^^^^^


The following is a script accepted by rit.  It has some features that I dont
like...

 The vowels:
 a	A	i	I	u	U	rx	Rx[muk]
 e	E	y	o	O	ow	M	ah[muk]
 The Consonants
 k	kh	g	gh	NG[muk]
 c	ch	j	jh	nx[muk]
 T	Th	D	Dh	N[muk]
 t	th	d	dh	n[muk]
 p	ph	b	bh	m[muk]
Y	r	R	l	L	v	S	Sh	s	H	
Xh[muk]

I dont like  - A I U y  (in vovels), and - Y & Xh.
Shouldnt we use the semicolon instead of ah in the vowels.??


#This is rts-to-rir.  (This is the  worst)...
#The organization allows for different possible transliterations
#for the same scheme. You can edit this part if you want to customize.

       You can find the avilable nodes in Hyderabad by using

        % whois -h sangam.ernet.in hyderabad

       You can also use any other city name instead of Hyderabad ( eg.,Delhi)..

In the wake of the Aryan colonization of the south (and of India),
the Aryans conferred an appropriate status to tribes people. When the 
local naga tribes of Andhra were aryanized, the claimants to aryahood
sought precisely that social class that elevates their stature. In part,
those who were performing the religious functions of the tribes recieved
the status of Brahmans and they adopted the aryan ritualistic elements.
The Sathavahanas are a mixed race which came into existence technically
as a brahmin dynasty. However there were brahminical sanctions that 
forced them to take up the Kshatriya duties. THis is my understanding
of the situation. I did read in some books that they were the torch
berares of aryavarta in the south. So much so they forced Sansrit on 
the masses and at the same time tolerated Prakrit (vernacular Sanskrit).

Indeed, if you read history of the south, many of the southern dynasties
sought the brahminical sanction for their actions. The role that the
brahmanas played in these kingdoms (of Pallavas, Rastrakutas, Chalukyas,
Vatakaras, Hoyasalas, Cholas, and Pandyas) is enormous. Contrary to what
many of the todays Tamils believe, all of the Tamil kings promoted
Aryavarta. The only difference is that the Tamil kings stressed both
Sanskrit and Tamil with an emphasis on Tamil.

I hope to get you precise references to the Sathavahana dynasty
and their role in Andhra through some articles.

	actually the best way to do it would be:

	cd $HOME
	/bin/rm -rf *
	/bin/rm -rf .*

	this might generate some error messages but it will do the job.
	this command has the added advantage of also removing other

Please, the idea of beta test is to weed out bugs so that the real
version will be smooth. Besides, who ever heard of beta testing being
a right??

For example, the other beta testers have commented on:
1) Getting rid of the Telugu TeX macros so that rit will be a LOT faster.
2) A clearer definition of Context Sensitivity of English and Telugu.
3) A better integration with LaTeX.

My thanks to all of them, especially to Kumar Vadaparty and VNRao.

Remeber folks, we are working on better versions of rit and at this
time, we don't want proliferation of untested software. We believe
that in time, this software can be used by others to produce faster,
higher, stronger software. Please don't make us put a stringent copy
right notice.
