Tamil Converters is a package containing five programs that convert Tamil text from ISCII to Unicode, Unicode to ISCII, ITRANS to ISCII, ITRANS to ISCII, and TSCII to Unicode.

All five programs provide fairly extensive checking of their input for errors and untranslatable codes. The ITRANS used is, by default, extended to include codes for the Tamil digits and to include HZ escapes (as defined in RFC 1843) that delimit the Tamil portion.

This allows processing of mixed Tamil and ASCII text. The extensions and use of HZ escapes can be disabled by command-line switches.

What's New in This Release:
This release adds converters between the romanization used by the Institute of Indology and Tamil Studies at the University of Cologne and Tamil script in Unicode.
A converter from Tamil script to Indicist (ISO 15919) transliteration was also added.
