+sinhala_tex is a package of Metafont fonts and a preprocessor suitable
+for writing Sinhala script using TeX or LaTeX. This package
+was originally developed by Yannis Haralambous
+<Yannis.Haralambous@univ-lille1.fr>, with funding from the
+Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, 183 Euston Road,
+London NW1 2BE, England (Contact person: Dominik Wujastyk
+<D.Wujastyk@ucl.ac.uk>), which is using the font in its
+Catalogue of Sinhala Manuscript. The original package was
+available by ftp at ftp.bcc.ac.uk in
+/pub/users/ucgadkw/indology/software/sinhala1-TeX.zip
+
+It was later modified by Vasantha Saparamadu <vsaparam@ocs.mq.edu.au>
+to add support for 'samanala' transliteration scheme developed by
+Prasad Dharmasena <pkd@isr.umd.edu>.
