Phono is pretty good, but the syntax of it is a pain (I still haven't figured out the distinction between +/- and #/=) and I've noticed some bugs in it. Besides that, it's closed-source and DOS-only (although I have gotten it to run tolerably under Dosemu on Linux). (You can search for it on the SIL page.) For Windows, there's Langmaker, which IMO is even worse than Phono because of the really odd bugs it seems to produce. But it's at www.langmaker.com. -- Eric Christopherson / *Aiworegs Ghristobhorosyo
