It is possible to get these but not for free! I spent quite a long
time searching at the beginning of the year. The solution I ended up
with was to use a freeware package called ITRANS to generate the
sanskrit text in Postscript format and the package GHOSTSCRIPT
together with its Windows front-end called GSVIEW to convert this to
BMP format for incorporation into WORD for Windows documents. It's a
bit long winded but it works and is all free! All software can be
downloaded off the net. I can locate addresses if you want.
