Changes which the users 1985 UBC Indic should note:
7.1 The 1986 UBC Indic disk is a much more powerful and convenient tool
when compared with the 1985 disk. Rearrangement and strengthening of
Geneva and New York fonts, the possibility of which I had seen in 1985 but
which I was not able to carry out then for want of time, is the major improvement. On the Nāgari side, addition of : (for Marathi -41, etc.), Vedic accent marks, & (needed in 41941, etc.), F (needed in Marathi 41941, etc.), ✓ (for indicating roots), ° (for indicating reading variance), & (half s, for 37701, etc. for those who prefer it to 37701, etc.), and nuktā constitute a change for the better. To accomplish it, the underline sign, * or asterisk, S or section sign, 6, 5, and vv had to be removed. However, this was a relatively small price to pay, since the first three are available in the Geneva and New York fonts (the first is available also in the style menu) and the last three, when made by combining two signs as in the preceding sentence, are not inelegant.
7.2 Users of the 1985 disk switching to the 1986 disk should check the documents typed with the earlier disk from the point of view of the Roman as well as Nāgari signs and letters mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
They should also note that the places of the following are different in the
Nāgari part of the 1986 disk: +, , , , >, 37, and . Any use of keys 3.2.3, 3.2.7, 3.2.8, and 3.4.6 they might have made should also be checked, since each of these keys produces two different results in the 1986 disk (see note 4 above).
