This software may be of interest to CrossWire developers.

Writing with ancient scripts and making your texts available to text editors
of multiple platforms (Windows, Linux/Unix, Macintosh etc.) is unfortunately
still not a very easy task. KORAIS is a word processor and email application
with an integrated input method, that will help you address exactly this
problem.
