FTP Site Administrators: Please let me know if you can store these files at 
your site, and if you so wish, feel free to pull them over from chandra or
ftp.funet.fi, or let me know and I will upload them to your site.

The songs are in ITRANS transliterated form, so if you want to be able to
convert the songs into PS, you'd have to install the ITRANS-4.04 package
along with Frank Velthuis' devnag fonts.  Both are available in various
places (including chandra).  See the file ITRANS.README for further info.

Read also the README file in the top level directory for further info.
