Will get back to you on the details.

This is to inform you all that the BombayHigh Court hasvse decided to have the computerisation of the activities of the Judiciary in Maharashtra on a Linux platform. As part of a recently initiated computerisation programme of all the subordinate courts of the Metropolitan area of Mumbai we are going to use Red Hat 7.3. For the last 3 years we are using a Red hat E-Mail server in the High Court. Also all District Courts in the State use a Slackware version of Linux on their systems.
We have specific interest in issues relating to the following under Linux : a) Support for old binaries ( SCO Unix Sys V/ Xenix ). We have used old ibcs as well as present linux-abi modules to get some of our application running with a big load of users accessing the same.
b) Still looking for a non-GUI word processor which is simple to use, implements curses/ncurses efficiently for screen handling, uses simple fonts ( or no font at all !!) to give speedy outputs of big documents speedily on DMPs. We have not yet found anything remotely similar to the good old SCO Lyrix OR Uniplex wordprocessors. If someone has any suggestion on this it is welcome.
c) Method of printing simple text under Star office OR Open Office. This is linked to previous section subject.
d) Bilingual support. We are trying out Indix.
Lastly we would like some suggestions regarding a workshop we plan to hold for Judges ficers of the Courts sometime around Nov. 17-19. One session is planned on Linux and as the audience would be general users the presentations are proposed to be a of a general nature. I am contemplating getting either to get Red Hat technical persons to handle this OR may be any of you Luggers having the time !! Kindly feel free to mail me.
