The e-text file was initially prepared in Mylai format by K. Kalyanasundaram, Lausanne, Switzerland

This webpage presents the Etxt in Tamil script but in Unicode encoding.

To view the Tamil text correctly you need to set up the following: 

1. You need to have Unicode fonts containing Tamil Block (Latha, Arial Unicode MS, TSCu_Inaimathi, Code2000, UniMylai,…) installed on your computer  and the OS capable of rendering Tamil Scripts (Windows 2000 or Windows XP). 
2. Use a browser that is capable of handling UTF-8 based pages (Netscape 6, Internet Explorer 5) with the Unicode Tamil font chosen as the default font for the UTF-8 char-set/encoding view. In case of difficulties send an email request to kalyan@geocities.com or kumar@vt.edu
