    Hi Bill,

    Thanks a lot for your response.well, I think I should have explained a
    little more in my previous post.my project involves work for an embedded
    device and is not using windows platform . so I need to do the thai
    implementation from scrach in my operating system.

    Secondly, we would be using unicode encoding but inorder to check the input
    I think the paper is the best resourse or should I follow some resource.

    Things like which character are legal to make a combination character etc
    are well documented in the paper so we thought of following this paper.

    What I wanted to make sure was that I hope rules mentioned in the paper are
    correct .

    What do you say?

    Nitin
