I will upload (to the files section of this group) a
draft/beta convertion table from ORBW-TTSarala to
ISCII and vice-versa in Complete_Syllable to
Complete_Syllable format.

With experience of 12 years, since 1992, I strongly
say that latest ORBW-TTMukta Font of CDAC is the best,
all glyphs are made clear and Web compatible. The old
version of ORB-TTMukta-1998 (of DLL-16) is being used
only by Srujanika. All other Oriya user's have
upgraded (to DLL-32). So I do not see any wider
usefulness of our effort/time to be invested for it.

Directly from 8bit-font-glyph-sets to Unicode is not
possible, because presently most of users has to stick
to Windows98 OS (as high cost involves for upgrade),
which does not support 16Bit encodings. And most of
the users not familiar with linux.

Better you may work presently for a converter from
OR_ISCII to Unicode. (The ISCII-Unicode
converter(proprietory) provided by CDAC has lot of
bugs.) Most of the Oriya Softwares like Akruti,
Indica, Modular... others.... now also provides "SAVE
AS ISCII" or "Export to ISCII" feature. This will be
more useful for them also. 

OR_ISCII to Unicode converter, I think will be very
easy to design. I Think this will take an hour or two
for you.

I am trying to upload a draft/beta conversion table
from OR_ISCII to Unicode.

So by this way our efforts may provide help to a wider
range of Oriya Computing users. 

ANOTHER BETTER IDEA NOW CAME IN MY MIND
========================================
Pl. ask Srujanika to follow these steps :
1. Save the MS access data file with SAVE as CSV TXT
format
2. Convert it to ISCII with the converter provided
with ISM
2. Import ISCII file in Yudit with inbuilt ISCII
import.

STILL THERE MAY BE POSSIBLE BUGS
================================
1. Bugs in SAVE AS ISCII
2. Bugs in Or_ISCII import in Yudit
which may be fixed doing R&D.
