The GIST SDK
is a software development tool for Indian languages
on MS Windows. This is a set of software components
that enables software developers to facilitate the use
of Indian scripts with MS Windows applications. Unlike
other solutions, the significant feature of GIST SDK
is that it enables the MS Windows application to process
ISCII data directly. ISCII enables alphabetic sorting,
transliteration and data exchange and reusability in
a uniform manner.
The GIST SDK
uses ActiveX Technology from Microsoft and provides
a seamless, transparent and self contained Indian language
layer for data entry, storage, retrieval and printing
in Indian scripts for MS Windows applications. It is
based on COM standards and can be used with any of the
latest application development tools providing “OLE
container’ support.
GIST SDK consists
of a set of Dynamic Linked Libraries (DLL’s) with
necessary API, a set of ActiveX controls and True Type
fonts to enable integration with your MS Windows application.

- Develop completely self contained
Indian language enabled applications rapidly and easily,
using standard front-end development tools
