[am-translate] Belated Updates

[TG]

Hi Daniel (good to hear from you)

I won't take any more of your time. thanks for the try thogh. (I will 
try to figure out some how or wait for the binary..).

>ahh.. but getting someone to quit smoking is doing them a big favor isn't it? ;-)

True!! But if all thos who listened to the "quit smoking" advise had 
done it then there would't be any windows box :-). By the way here in 
Norway they have banned smocking in all indoor public places and we 
might need one such law for windows too???

After a lot of attempt to download mandrake10.1 finally I got a dvd copy 
attatched with a linux journal. I manged to install it with the Amharic 
option. I was elated to see the ethiopic charaters in the manus thogh 
they are far between. As you obviously can tell there is a lot of 
(quantitative and qualitative) work that has to be done before we see a 
satisfactory result. But now the foundation is layed and it is a mater 
of time and consistancy. We will reach there.

With regurd to the glossary building has any one of you seen the Kipot 
tool at http://www.it46.se/kipot/ ?

cheers
