It is a great news for Indian libraries. Congratulations for those who are
responsible for making this great software available under GNU GPL. It is
one of the few Indian software which adheres to international library
standards. I am not very sure that the installation of the software is
straight forward. It might require some efforts. But it is worth investing
the efforts taking in to account its overall features and capabilities.
