Application compatibility
The Indian Language Kit is based on the Apple
WorldScript I technology, and works best with
applications that take advantage of WorldScript.
These programs include:
• HyperCard from Apple Computer, Inc.
• LightningDraw GX from Lari Software, Inc.
• ReadySetGo! GX from Modular Software, Ltd.
• Nisus Writer from Nisus Software, Inc.
• Photoshop ME from Adobe Systems
(distributed by WinSoft S.A.)
• WorldWrite from World Software Corporation

Note: Apple has tested only a limited number of

applications, therefore this list is not intended to be
comprehensive. Many applications that do not employ
WorldScript software technology may provide limited
functionality and allow input of Indian characters.
